Hi Giles, Are you looking for something like this?
%%% SNIPPET BEGINS \version "2.24.3" \paper { score-system-spacing.padding = #6 } \layout { indent = 0 ragged-right = ##f \context { \Score \override RehearsalMark.padding = #3 } } \score { { \mark "ON079-1a-_01" \key c\major \time 9/8 a''8 b''8 a''8 g''4 e''8 d''4 d''8 } } \score { { \mark "ON079-1a-_02" \key c\major \time 9/8 a'8 a'8 a'8 d''4 d''8 e''8 f''8 g''8 } } \score { { \mark "ON079-1a-_03" \key c\major \time 9/8 a''8 b''8 a''8 g''4 e''8 d''4 f''8 } } %%% SNIPPET ENDS > I think my fundamental problem is I don't understand why this, below, isn't > an example of the sequential model (isn't it "one music") This “works”: %%% SNIPPET BEGINS \version "2.24.3" \score { { \mark "ON079-1a-_01" \key c\major \time 9/8 a''8 b''8 a''8 g''4 e''8 d''4 d''8 \mark "ON079-1a-_02" \key c\major \time 9/8 a'8 a'8 a'8 d''4 d''8 e''8 f''8 g''8 \mark "ON079-1a-_03" \key c\major \time 9/8 a''8 b''8 a''8 g''4 e''8 d''4 f''8 } \layout { } \midi { } } %%% SNIPPET ENDS [Of course, this introduces a whole bunch of other issues… but it “works”!] > - can you tell me what Lilypond is objecting to? Your \score block contains about two dozen music expressions. ;) Wrapping that whole chunk in {} reduces it to a single music expression. Hope that helps!
