Hi all, I've run into an interesting problem - it's strange enough that I'm starting to suspect it might be an actual bug (though the odds are still probably in favour of me misunderstanding something).
Here's a two-bar illustration of the problem - first, with an empty bar and then acciaccatura (grace note) to "normal" note: http://flooble.net/~pete/lilypond/leading-grace-note-good.ly http://flooble.net/~pete/lilypond/leading-grace-note-good.pdf All seems fine. Then see what happens if you swap the two bars around: http://flooble.net/~pete/lilypond/leading-grace-note-bad.ly http://flooble.net/~pete/lilypond/leading-grace-note-bad.pdf Ye gods. <wry grin> Can anyone suggest a workaround here? Is there some special-case incantation you need for a "leading" grace note? In section 6.5.7 in the manual: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.10/Documentation/user/lilypond/Grace-notes#Grace-notes ...there's an example of a leading grace note that *seems* to work (see the bit just after the text "will introduce special typesetting settings"), but I can't reproduce that in a way that *actually* works. Here's my closest approximation, following the 6.5.7 example even though I can see no reason it'd make any difference: http://flooble.net/~pete/lilypond/leading-grace-note-still-bad.ly http://flooble.net/~pete/lilypond/leading-grace-note-still-bad.pdf ...and it doesn't. D'oh. :-( I welcome any pointer if I've missed some crucial detail in the documentation, or even a pointer to a Lilypond score that somehow manages to do this correctly. Thanks, Pete. -- "Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it." -- Donald Knuth _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
