c2 c4 simultaneous with c4 c2 is not a small issue, it's awful.  If you 
would space that as if it were three columns of quarter notes the 
problem would not exist.  This has been pointed out to you on numerous 
occasions.

The spacing of the clefs, chromatic signs, and time signatures remains 
terrible in 1.4.10 and some of the controls don't seem to work.

Easily done with the sed filter I posted already.

articulation1 articulation2 note1* note2*
becomes
note1articulation1 note2articulation2
or vice versa, or substitute anything else of course.  I used the * only 
because it is the most visible symbol available.

And of course if you can't do tablature as a plaything, you apparently 
won't do it at all.

The persistence of accidentals should be a voice context and not a staff 
context issue.  For whatever reason, this did not come through clearly 
from the big discussion of the subject.  It is a good idea to consider 
any music with more than one part on a staff to be a reduction.
