Hi James, that was quick. Well I'm using Windows 10 version 1607. I attached a the snippet you provided (ok almost the same despite I haven't version 2.19.56) created with 2.19.25
As you can see the "ff" does not look like a real ligature. I tried the same with 2.19.55 (latest version I have access too) and the result looks like where "ff" looks like a ligature. So in fact lilypond improved and is working as expected but together with pdflatex (latest MikTeX) it creates the problem. Sorry for making lilypond guilty. Once i find the real problem I'll let you know. kind regards, Fritz Am 19.02.2017 um 19:52 schrieb James Lowe: > Hello Friedrich, > > > On Sun, 19 Feb 2017 19:09:39 +0100 > Friedrich Kink <friedrich.k...@fkink.de> wrote: > >> Dear Simon, >> >> thanks for the fast answer.
