Re: changing notehead in themiddle of the chord

[Mats Bengtsson]

In addition to what I said below, please take a look at the example
called apply-output.ly in the "Regression Test" document in the
on-line documentation. In the example called note-head-style.ly,
you will find the documentation of different note head styles that
you requested in an earlier email. In general, both the Regression
Test document and the Tips and Tricks document are very useful
sources of information in addition to the rest of the manual.
