Dear Collective Wisdom, I am a lilypond noob using version 2.12.3.
I am working on making a score for a piece where each part has its own independent time signatures like this example ""Staves with different time signatures, unequal bar lengths": http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond/Displaying-rhythms#Polymetric-notation When I cut and paste the \layout code into my document I got error messages saying \Score and \Staff are unacceptable. I found a different solution (though now I can't find it anymore), where you put these commands at the top, using \new Score instead of just \score: \new Score \with { \remove "Timing_translator" \remove "Default_bar_line_engraver" } ... \new Staff = "violin 1" \with { \consists "Timing_translator" \consists "Default_bar_line_engraver" } It kind of worked, as in, it actually would parse the file and create a .pdf. But everything is off by a sixteenth or so. For example it prints 4/4, the first sixteenth, then a bar line, then the rest of the piece. The compiler window writes the following error message 24 times (I thought the number would correspond to the number of measures rest the violins have at the beginning, but alas, that is not so): programming error: Multi_measure_rest::get_rods (): I am not spanned! continuing, cross fingers I cannot find anything about spanning multi-measure rests nor rods. But my guess is that the multi-measure rests are merely a symptom and not the actual issue. Unfortunately, I don't know where to look anymore, having scoured the documentation both on and offline. Your help is greatly appreciated. cheers, Andrea -- ™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™ http://reloadsanear.com http://antisocialmusic.org _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
