Fixed. For proof, see pudding attached. (And I see this was hardly a new issue.) Thanks Jay! Pete

Subject: Overlap Beams in Time?

Dear List:
First, thank you for Lilypond -- this wonderful tool -- and for
accepting my subscription.
I am placing noteheads, and using beams, in a way that has little to do
with common usage.
Lilypond has to a considerable extent "played along", as you'll see in
the attached example.
But you see also what I *can't* make Lilypond do: overlap beams symbols
in *time*. I want
a separate beam above the staff, connecting those A's.
Metrically of course that's preposterous, so if I code the 2nd set of
"[...]"s, Lilypond screams
Preprocessing graphical objects...ERROR: Wrong type (expecting real
number): \
#<unknown-type (0x27 . 0x9381190) @ 0xb6cca970>
Does anybody know a way around this predicament? I've scoured the docs
and wiki in vain.
All ideas will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Peter A.
P.S. My last resort would be to add the second beam later -- by force
-- within a PDF editor.
But accuracy in that context is tough, and I haven't yet seen
such an editor with Undo.
