Since I was just going on about how much better lilypond's multiple-voice
handling is, and I just saw a great example of it in action, I thought I'd
share a reason why I am really digging this piece of software.
3/8 bar: The stems are almost exactly vertically aligned -- just enough offset
to make it obvious to the eye that they aren't the same voice. Then the kicker,
which (as far as I know) finale doesn't do by default -- the rhythm dots in the
upper voice are pushed to the right to line up with those in the lower voice.
No tweaks, looks gorgeous. That level of attention to detail is kind of blowing
my mind.
Big up to all the developers, testers and bug squad. Amazing stuff going on
here!
