Thanks for the confirmation. I wrote an email yesterday with a couple
of PDF attachments to show the difference but it got lost ... I take it
the list doesn't like such files?
Are there suggestions for a solution? I guess one could put in
"invisible" notes.
I was kind of hoping there might be some way of overriding the spacing
for a given note along the lines of, "space this note as if it was
actually 2 quarter-notes", but I don't know if that's possible ... ?
