Hi,
While "c4:32" correctly expresses a quarter note stem tremolo slashes,
typing (badly-formed) "r4:32" probably only happens when a user is editing
a source file and changes a note to a rest without regard for the stem
tremolo suffix.
However, rather than raising some type of error or warning, Lily fails
silently on this type of badly-formed construction.
Rests shorter than the duration of a whole note cause LilyPond to fail
silently at system drawing:
%%% BEGIN 1 %%%
\version "2.19.83"
\new Staff { r4:32 }
%%% END %%%
Output:
GNU LilyPond 2.19.83
Processing `test.ly'
Parsing...
Interpreting music...
Preprocessing graphical objects...
Finding the ideal number of pages...
Fitting music on 1 page...
Drawing systems...
*[no more output]*
Longer rests cause Lily to fail even more laconically:
%%% BEGIN 2 %%%
\version "2.19.83"
\new Staff { r1:32 }
%%% END %%%
GNU LilyPond 2.19.83
Processing `test.ly'
Parsing...
Interpreting music...
Preprocessing graphical objects...
*[no more output]*
Rather than failing silently, Lily should raise an error or warning:
imagine a large input file failing for no apparent reason and then having
to bisect the entire thing find a single instance of something like
"r4:32".
Thanks,
Trevor.
