Hello, Thank you for the amazing Lilypond.
I have been advised (on IRC) to post a bug about custodes I found. Here is a minimal example %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%% A custos shows where the next note will be and is placed at the end of a staff. %%% It usually works fine. %%% %%% But, the custos should point up when the second note on the next staff is higher than the first. %%% This doesn't happen if the last note is tied to the first note on the next staff. \version "2.24.3" \score { { a'1 ~ \break a' g } \layout { \context { \Staff \consists Custos_engraver \override Custos.style = #'mensural } } } %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Suggested fix: a command like \custosUp to manually set or adjust the direction of the custos.
