The problem comes from Lilypond's bizarre assumption that at some point all the barlines in the score will line up. In this case, clearly the barlines in the 7/sqr(71) staff will never line up with any of the other barlines in

Hello mclaren,

LilyPond does not allow you to break in the middle of note events by default. The solution is to remove Forbid_line_break_engraver from the Voice context, as described in the docs here: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/line-breaking

\layout {
  \context {
    \Voice
    \remove "Forbid_line_break_engraver"
  }
}

I admit to posting this without making much effort to understand your code, so apologies if this is does not solve the problem.

I also agree with Urs' comment on your tone.


Nathan
