That's exactly what i expect! I'll try to solve it, as hard as i can.
(The only thing that worries me is that my programming skills are not
high... i only hope that i picked an issue that is not very difficult
to solve)

Did i understand you correctly? Are you saying that i don't have to
ask the community how they want it to be solved (i mean, what output
they want)?
The reason why I started this thread was essentially because i wanted
to know the community's opinion (and achieve a consensus about the
desired LilyPond behaviour) *before* beginning the work myself. :) I'd
prefer not to write a patch and have it rejected :)

The ones i can think of are currently too busy and not excited enough
about having beautiful scores instead of ugly ones... :( Yes, they use
default finale output and don't care about it - sad... I'm trying to
convince them by marking finale's mistakes (this results in my copies
of the scores being covered in red).

Thanks for your answer :)
And please say what do you think about scaling those flags.

Janek :)
