Dear Phil, Thanks again for your help. It was a brackets 'n' braces problem all along! Seeing your copied example helped me see that (why that didn't work when actually looking at the documentation, I don't know...).
I understood what the code was supposed to do, but it wasn't doing it — because I had my brackets and braces wrong. When I tried the alternative way (5.1.3), it worked but somehow overlooked the brackets issue and turned into a different issue. Now that I've repaired my formatting woes, the pdf is still a bit wonky, but I think that will fix itself once I enter in all the parts. cheers, Andrea -- ™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™ http://reloadsanear.com http://antisocialmusic.org _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
