Dear Phil, Thanks for your reply.
I used that exact code that you pasted, minus everything after the comment because I copied and pasted it into my own document. (aside: If this helps, I'm trying to put these eight parts into one score: http://reloadsanear.com/composition/putrefaction.html) First I put it at the end, because for some reason I was under the impression that \layout goes after \score. When I did this, the program said it had a problem with \Score, which only appeared in the \layout section. Basically, when I cut and pasted that code into my document, the program couldn't produce any notation. Then I tried the second way as I described in my OP, and I got notation, but everything was off and the only error message I got was the many declarations of "I am not spanned!" Is that clearer? Now I'm trying to parse Ole's reply (thanks! I've been writing an email full of more questions...) and yours and I think I'm getting closer. It seems I have some confusion about the order of operations, as it were. Ole's example "breaks" a lot of the "rules," which is adding to my confusion. I'm happy to attach my file, but it's not short and I don't blame anyone for not wanting to parse it. Thanks again for your help! I'll keep plugging away and keep you posted... cheers, andrea On Fri, Jul 9, 2010 at 6:07 PM, Phil Holmes <m...@philholmes.net> wrote: > Andrea, > > I'm using 2.12.3.
