there i also found a simple trick to correct the funny timing: insert a harmless grace note before skipping typesetting! to not spoil the original score i would suggest to define these skipping commands in a special voice. printing only measure 111 - 116 would then look so: music = { … } \new Staff << \music \new Voice = "skipping" { \set Score.skipTypesetting = ##t s1*110 \grace s8 \set Score.skipTypesetting = ##f s1*6 \grace s8 \set Score.skipTypesetting = ##t s1*10 … } >> -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/skipTypesetting-oddities-tp32988646p32997021.html Sent from the Gnu - Lilypond - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
