I confess I did post once or twice before looking in the command reference, and did not find them there, so I did answer that part of my own question. Even so, had I found the trouble-causing commands in the the other files, that still wouldn't have resolved for me why exactly lilypond was rejecting them, so I probably still would have annoyed you with my postings. Sometimes the 'RTFM' strategy still doesn't help. :-}
You yourself commented that the source files were a 'mess'; that wasn't me. But then you chastise me for not doing my homework before troubling the user support list with my presumably too trifling to bother with questions. I'm sorry. I work in an environment where I still have to condescend as sincerely as I can to people who don't read all the signs, etc. before asking dumb questions, and I evidently made the mistake of assuming such a forgiving attitude was the norm here. I'll go bug Nicholas now, since my post succeeded in luring him out to answer. ;-) -Mark _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
