The code Stephan hosts is a nightmare, because all indentation has gone.

The problem is line-breaking. The bending-code doesn't support it. Honestly, I've no clue how it should look at line-break. To proof whether it's a line-break-issue include: \paper { page-breaking = #ly:one-line-breaking } You'll see the error vanished. A minimal breaking example: \include "definitions.ily" \new TabVoice \relative c'' { \bendOn c1( \break d) } Though, what to do? Currently breaks are disabled at the end of \bendOn, which sometimes is not enough. It is likely possible to disallow line-breaks at all while \bendOn works. But is surely not what you want, while applying \bendOn to a larger piece of music. Best I can think of is to disallow breaks at all, inserting them all manually. For that you could use: \layout { \autoLineBreaksOff } HTH, Harm _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
