Subject: Polymetric music and page breaks
Dear Collective Wisdom,
I posted here about a year ago about my piece. You were all very helpful
and
I hope you can help me once again. Yes, it's the same pesky piece.
I've entered all the parts and need to finish editing it. I can't seem to
get it to paginate properly. I've tried inserting \bar "" judiciously and
\break judiciously, but to no avail. Attached is a minimal example, which
is
still rather large, due to having eight parts. This example does not have
any \bar "" or \break commands.
Any help is appreciated!
cheers,
Andrea

It looks to me that your problem stems from the way you are changing time
signatures independently in each staff. By default, Lilypond expects
timing to be consistent across a score. I'd suggest reading
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond/Displaying-rhythms#Polymetric-notation
to see if you can change this to your satisfaction.
Apologies - I'd not read the top of your score to see that you have done
this. From printing a couple of the pieces of the score individually, it
looks to me that they are actually different lengths, and I know Lily can be
confused by this. Viola 4 seems to me to have 17.5 complete (semi-breve)
measures, whereas I think viola 3 has only got 16.8125. I may be wrong
about the exact numbers, but I think this is something worth checking
carefully.
