Hi, The problem is not due to a bug in LilyPond but due to one error you made in your file. Measure 24, you have an incorrect duration (line 15, middle of the line in your input file AFAICS). I assume it should be d16 instead of d8 . b8. d16 d4 e4 d4~ (or two 8th notes: b8 d d4 e4 d4~ ) Then every note that follows is "shifted" and your notes do not end at the end of the measure. As LilyPond can only break a line at the end of a measure, it results in this "music running off the page". It is a common error. http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/usage/common-errors.html#music-runs-off-the-page That's why it is recommended to use barchecks and to write only one measure per line in your input file (to find more easily where to correct when such issue appears). http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond-learning/General-suggestions.html Cheers, Xavier -- Xavier Scheuer <x.sche...@gmail.com> _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list bug-lilypond@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
