Dear Lilypond team, Using GNU LilyPond 2.24.1 (running Guile 2.2), the following example seems to generate a note visibility bug:
\version "2.24.1" \language "english" \book { \score { \new Staff = "LH" \with { printPartCombineTexts = ##f } { \time 4/4 \key ef \major \clef "bass" \partCombine \relative c { \voiceThree % bar 1: f-2 ef8-3 f-2 g-1 af-2 \hideNotes bf4 \unHideNotes | % if "\hideNotes" and "\unHideNotes" are removed, the bug goes away in bar 3 % bar 2: if you remove this bar entirely, the bug goes away c,-5 e-3 f-1 af-2 | % bar 3: af2.-2 g4-1 | % Bug: missing/invisible notes! Fingering visible but note heads/stems not. } \relative c { \voiceFour % bar 1: d4_4 c8_5 d_4 ef4-3 ef8-3 d-4 | % bar 2: c4 e f af | % bar 3: bf,1-5 | } } } } The bug is shown graphically below. In the final bar, the tenor part has invisible note heads/stems (although its fingering is shown). If the note hiding in bar 1 is removed, the bug goes away – but equally if bar 2 is removed in its entirety, the bug goes away. It looks like there is some sort of hangover effect from \hideNotes and \unHideNotes that (seemingly randomly) affect a subsequent bar. In my original example, the bug occurred 6 bars after the hide/unhide bar (rather than 2 bars after as in this example). all the best, Rudolf. [cid:f7b534f7-7b09-499c-bc86-40c6ff4fd7a4]
