It looks to me like LilyPond is trying to interpret \bar in terms of gregorian-init.ly, and is failing. (The diagnostic messages from the console would be helpful to determine if that's really the case.) Replacing \bar "||" with \finalis should delete it. > > Is it at all a good idea to start typesetting gregorian chants with > LilyPond or are there too many diffulcuties by now? Yes, there are some difficulties, but you can see a small example of what the current development version of LilyPond can do at the "Ancient Notation" section of the GDP site: http://kainhofer.com/~lilypond/Documentation/user/lilypond/Ancient-notation. html Like the rest of the documentation, you can click on the image to see the LilyPond source that created it. Some things to note: I did not include any tweaks because I wanted to see how LilyPond handled unmodified input, so I would be better informed while working on this section; the output is not perfect by any means, but it looks much better than the output produced by the current production version (last time I checked, anyway); there are some odd collisions (especially the last phrase, which runs into the last finalis (double bar). I hope that will be enough to get you started. > > Thanks, You're welcome, Kurtis _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
