Problem solved after much deconstruction.
I am setting a string quartet. In this section almost every note has a
glissando, and some become to small to see. So I set this:
\override Glissando #'minimum-length = #5
\override Glissando #'springs-and-rods =
#ly:spanner::set-spacing-rods
This works fine to give the minimum length of the glissandi. It turns
out
that this was forcing the score over the edge of the paper, not a
rhythmic
error. Adjusting that solves the problem. It's only when there are a
large
number of glissandi in the line that it occurs. I report this here in
case
it may help future archive searchers.
This is probably because glissandi are unbreakable by default. If you
have one overlapping a bar line, then LilyPond cannot break there.
Consider the following:
%%%%
\version "2.19.82"
{
\override Glissando.minimum-length = #5
\override Glissando.springs-and-rods = #ly:spanner::set-spacing-rods
\override Glissando.breakable = ##t
\repeat unfold 32 { f'8\glissando e''8\glissando } f'1
}
%%%%
If you omit setting 'breakable to true, you'll see the result extends
all on one line.
