Folks,can someone please explain to me why the following code { \compressEmptyMeasures c'4 4 4 4 | 4 4 4 4 | 4 4 4 4 | 4 4 4 4 | \break R4*120 | \break c'4 4 4 4 | 4 4 4 4 | 4 4 4 4 | 4 4 4 4 | c'4 4 4 4 | 4 4 4 4 | 4 4 4 4 | 4 4 4 4 | c'4 4 4 4 | 4 4 4 4 | 4 4 4 4 | 4 4 4 4 | c'4 4 4 4 | 4 4 4 4 | 4 4 4 4 | 4 4 4 4 | } causes such an uneven formatting after the multi-measure? And is there a work-around available? Werner
Hi, (Excuse the bad email threading, which will get fixed next time I reply.) Interesting. The example can be made even more minimal, without \compressEmptyMeasures: { c'1 \break \repeat unfold 35 { c'1 } } This produces the same bad output in 2.20. In 2.18, the output is still suboptimal, but different (files attached). A workaround would be \paper { page-breaking = #ly:minimal-breaking } Both ly:optimal-page-breaking and ly:page-turn-breaking are faulty; ly:one-page-breaking is not. This issue could be related: https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/issues/5488 Regards, Jean
