good to know, I thought 2.16 still had the ability. I tried to compile latest 
2.16, but I'm not easily able to do so due to python and autotools stuff 
unavailable on recent Gentoo. So I'll just believe you. :)

Though it's not a real regression (see Phil's mail), it should be reported. 
Whould you do that, or do you want me to do so? Since you seem to have easy 
access to older versions of lilypond, you could be the better contact person. 
:) If you don't want to file a bug, please give a short response, and I'll 
file it and post the link here, probably you could help with some small pics 
of older versions then.

Thanks again, and thanks to Phil, too!
