Mats and Tao, how long did it take you to figure that out? Did you go through the file and re-indent things? How much more quickly would you have figured it out if the original file were indented properly? I'm becoming tempted to answer these sorts of questions with: Format your code properly (with good indentation) and the problem should be easier to find. If you still can't find the problem, post your re-formatted code and I will try to help you. Make sure to read this (if you haven't already): http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond-learning/Suggestions-for-writing-LilyPond-input-files I also recommend keeping lines to within 72 columns, since e-mail client word-wrapping can introduce unexpected newlines. I see about one a week: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2009-06/msg00227.html http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2009-06/msg00108.html I think one of our responsibilities as user-list responders is to foster good practices. And our time is valuable, so sending a quick copy of the above paragraph helps everyone. And I'd rather have experienced users spending time on more useful things than cleaning up poor formatting. Stefan, I don't mean to pick on you. I've been thinking about this for a while, so I hope there's no offense taken! - Mark _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
