Re: A question for the wise with brains or those who just used it for a while and know :)

[darkijah]

I live in the 16 century, boxes are only for the end when the lyrics 
break to show and help the user. Boxes are of the Devil and not needed 
for the common man.
Yes those Half notes takes up 2 spaces. I will show you, the first pitch 
gets 2 and the last break gets 2. I surely don't want it to waste so 
much space.

Might be cadenza I am looking for as I don't want any boxes, I can put 
whatever boxes I need manual into it - that would absolutely be 
preferred with my style.
I was somewhat concerned it would be a problem in Lilypond as it was in 
MuseScore - but it seems there are ways around it in Lilypond! :)
I'm trying it out, and I really like what I see mand know - lots of 
features and lots of control, although still need to learn the rules and 
how to make it do what I want to do.

The Half note of cause is should still be a half note or half break, I 
just don't want it taking precious space like that, that is nonsense in 
my view. I like how they did it in the old days without concern of such 
things. I just want it nice spread out really, the lower notes I would 
like to get a little more room as well. Like mixing the new with the 
old, the best of both worlds :)

anyway, here is my Music sheet to have a look at, wasted space 8 places!
