How would you handle this? This result is pretty ugly. Tried moving some things around, but couldn't come up with anything better.

Just want to share what I did for engraving this mess. By "nightmare" I mean not how it sounds but that it was difficult to engrave. Source: Chopin op. 62 no. 2 measure 76

Mac OS Workflow?

MuseScore pissed me off for the last time and I’ve decided to throw my effort behind switching to Lilypond. I’m building a library of copyright free music and original compositions for a small music club.

I am a long time Emacs user so my plan is to use that to edit source files. Can anyone share their workflow or tips to help a new guy get started? Thanks!
