Re: [PATCH] Re: Duration dots and Bar lines on custom Staves.

[V!ctor Adán]

Hi Neil,

Wow! This is fantastic!! I'm speechless. :-). Thanks to Kevin Dalley too for the original patch. 
So is it safe to assume that these changes will be available in version 2.11.51?

Your very truly grateful (and happy) Lilypond user,

Victor.

It's a good thing you've brought this up, since that post from Kevin
and another he posted a few days later include patches which fix both
of the issues you're experiencing; there were some problems with the
patches which prevented them being applied for testing, so they seem
to have fallen by the wayside.

I certainly think they would be a useful improvement on the current
behaviour, so I've tidied the patches up to make them work with the
current version; attached is the output of your snippet with the
patches applied.

Regards,
Neil
