Remembering the time I started with LilyPond, things went wrong pretty often. I had no clue why and ofcourse I was hardly aware what I was doing ... To solve the problem first step is always to isolate it. I.e. copy and paste the code into a test file and try to comment elements, lines or blocks, if the problem persists delete what you've commented. Only thing: don't introduce other problems. If this happens don't delete it. http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/usage/troubleshooting Yes, it's try and error, but you don't need _any_ knowledge about LilyPond for this task. Btw, back to the small example from my previous post: \new Staff << \time 4/4 \key bes \major \new Voice { \voiceOne \acciaccatura r8 r4 } \new Voice { \voiceTwo \grace s8 r4 } >> At some point while creating a minimal example you may get: << \time 4/4 \key bes \major \new Voice { s1 } \new Voice { s1 } >> Now all voices (those you explicitely create _and_ the others) are not longer forced to be in one Staff. (Though I'm somewhat surprised only three not four staves are displayed. Obviously LilyPond accumulates some loosing ends per default.) Anyway, if you now apply \displayMusic you get the internal scheme-representation of whats going on: \displayMusic << c'1 \new Voice { s1 } \time 4/4 \new Voice { s1 } \key bes \major >> ==> (make-music 'SimultaneousMusic 'elements (list (make-music 'TimeSignatureMusic 'beat-structure '() 'denominator 4 'numerator 4) (make-music 'KeyChangeEvent 'pitch-alist (list (cons 6 -1/2) (cons 0 0) (cons 1 0) (cons 2 -1/2) (cons 3 0) (cons 4 0) (cons 5 0)) 'tonic (ly:make-pitch -1 6 -1/2)) (make-music 'ContextSpeccedMusic 'create-new #t 'property-operations '() 'context-type 'Voice 'element (make-music 'SequentialMusic 'elements (list (make-music 'SkipEvent 'duration (ly:make-duration 0 0 1))))) (make-music 'ContextSpeccedMusic 'create-new #t 'property-operations '() 'context-type 'Voice 'element (make-music 'SequentialMusic 'elements (list (make-music 'SkipEvent 'duration (ly:make-duration 0 0 1))))))) Ofcourse this would be far too large, if not applied to a minimal ;) But have a look what follows after elements (list Yes, it's a still a lot stuff, but do me the favor ;) You see four entries: settings for time-sig, key-sig and two Voices. But you want only two voices, thus put time/key-sig into one of the voices. More, the time-sig is (per default) applied to the whole score, but not the key-sig. This is a feature, ofcourse. How to deal with it depends on the use-case...
