Hi Carl, Have not tried that idea. The weird thing is that it's only dynamics that are affected. I thought it might be some subtle font caching issue with the font I use, but I reverted to lilypond default and the same occurs. Once the dynamic finally makes itself visible, it stays. This may rem

Have you tried changing the lilypond call in Frescobaldi to a gdb lilypond call, so that you can pause the execution of lilypond and give Frescobaldi time to do whatever it might do -- and then continue lilypond from the debugger? Have you tried changing the Frescobaldi options for displaying th

Hi k\Kevin and All, It ranks as one of the most bizarre bugs I have ever seen (and I speak as a software developer of many decades). It's only with Frescobaldi. Command line compilation is fine. It's only dynamic markings, which is puzzling - whatever is going on? Running sync of course I tried, t

Hi Urs, Installed Debian 9.5 and all. The error, I am sorry to say, is in Frescobaldi, displayed in Ubuntu 18.10 and Debian 9.5. Using emacs and command line lilypond works fine on both Linux distros. Using Frescobaldi 3.0.0, the dynamics appear only intermittently, with no apparent pattern. I am

OK. Using a command line compile there is no sign of this issue. At least I can continue with the engraving. This looks not to be a lilypond bug now but an interaction between Frescobaldi and Ubuntu 18.10. In which case it looks like I have to abandon Frescobaldi after all these years. Not good!

Hi Urs, Thanks for the tip. It just happened with the first dynamic I added on about page seven. Everything fine until then. Having worked as a UNIX professional developer for a very long time, I can tell you something equally lunatic sounding. It has a whiff of being related to file system buffe
