Sorry just found (stumbled over) a cure in the documentation: inserting a space in the \global fixes it. Wonderful!
global = { s1 \bar "||" \acciacciatura s8 s1 } Many thanks, Alex From: Alex Voice <alvo...@btinternet.com> Date: Sunday, 18 November 2012 08:15 To: <lilypond-user@gnu.org> Subject: Acciaccaturas and global barlines Hi, Lilypond Experts. I have a problem combining an acciaccatura at the start of a bar with global settings for special bar lines. The following code places the acciaccatura before the double bar and creates another spurious bar before both of them: \version "2.16.1" global = { s1 \bar "||" \acciacciatura s8 s1 } music = { R1 \acciacciatura c''8 c''1 } \score { \new Staff << \global \music >> } If one puts the double bar into the \music explicitly (rather than in \global), it works perfectly fine, but I rather need to use global settings for this large orchestral piece, of which this is just a short excerpt from one stave. Could you suggest either what I may be doing wrong or what way there might be to work around it. Many thanks as always, Alex Voice
