Le 11/02/2021 à 14:11, Miguel Abrams a écrit : Dear community: I am reaching out for assistance in regard to the following error. Although I regard my knowledge of Lilypond to be primary, I have been a more than excited user for over two years now, and have never come across an error which I could not 'somehow' work around, at least until now. The following error was reported and archived in 2009, by another user (JUNE 3 2019, (2.19.82). However, I have been unable to find its resolution in the Archive. The error has now happened to my code, and I require some assistance to get by it. _________________________________ I am using MAC OS 10.13.6 HIgh Sierra, and Lilypond 2.19.55 _________________________________ The compile and subsequent engraver output fails, unless I replace a 'note' with a rest. ERROR : v/Parsing...Interpreting music...[8][16][24][32][40][48][56]ERROR: In procedure ly:trampoline:ERROR: Wrong type argument in position 3 (expecting Translator): #<freed cell 0x5e6cb90; GC missed a reference>Exited with return code 1 ____________ I provide a clip of the code below where the error is invoked, as shown in between the 2 % % marks. The error seems to point to the 2nd last note the 'flagged' measure. Please note that if I replace that beat with an r8, the compile and engraver run successfully. If I leave a note in that position, the error is invoked. It appears to me, as noted in this email, that the same error had been reported in June 2019. ____________ Also, I am using in this piece the Add Lyrics functionality. ____________ %%% new Staff{ \with { instrumentName = #"Bass" } { \clef bass \set Sta@.midiInstrument<mailto:Sta@.midiInstrument> = #"acoustic bass" \stemDown \numericTimeSignature\time 4/4 \key g\minor \autoBeamOn %BASS VERSE_A g,4 d,8 g,4 d,8 c4 | g,8 d,4 r8 d,8 g,8 g,8 d,8 | g,8 d,4 c4 d,4 r8 | d,4 g,4 d,8 g,4 d,8 | % c4 g,8 d,4 r8 d,8 g,8 | % g,8 d,4 g,8 d,8 c8 g,4 | r8 d,8 g,4 d,8 g,4 d,8| c,4 g,8 d,4 r8 c,8 g,8 | d,8 g,8 g,4 d,4 d,4 | g,,4. r8 d,8 g,4 c,8 | g,4 c,8 c4 g,8 d,4 | d,8 d,4 g,8 d,4 g,4 | d,4 g,4 g,,4. r8 r8 | ___________________ An assistance will be most appreciated. Hello, This is a garbage collection error. The bug is rooted in LilyPond's hard core written in C++, so there is not much that you can do as a user to fix it. Sorry. I agree that it is a garbage collection error. In many cases this behavior is triggered as we start to run out of memory. I agree with Jean that you should try a newer version. If the problem exists in the newer version, you should try getting a 64-bit version of LilyPond. The main distribution is 32-bit (due to restrictions by Apple on the use of their API). You can build your own 64-bit version using MacPorts, or you can download a 64-bit version from this site: https://bintray.com/marnen/lilypond-darwin-64 The most recent version on bintray is 2.20.0, but that is still a released version.
