[fomus-devel] Re: :staff

[rob canning]

hi david,
this example using :staff doesn't seem to work as i think it should...
it seems that it doesn't obey the :staff mark unless there is nothing 
going on at the same offset time - at the last note for example. i have 
even tried putting the parts in different voices but they still seem to 
interfere with one another.
thanks
rob
