3 Breathing signs, also used for phrasing, do normally not influence
4 global spacing -- only if space gets tight, notes are shifted to make
5 room for the breathing sign. Breathing signs break beams running
6 through their voice. In the following example, the notes in the first
7 two measures all have the same distance from each other:
16 \key es \major; \time 3/4;
17 < \context Voice = two { \stemDown es4 bes es }
18 \context Voice = one { \stemUp g4 as g }
20 < \context Voice = two { \stemDown es4 \breathe bes es }
21 \context Voice = one { \stemUp g4 as g }
23 es8 d es f g4 \breathe |
24 es8 d \breathe es f g f |
