2009-01-31 Thread Ed Ravin
I'm using LilyPond Version 2.10.29-1 on a PPC MacOS 10.4 (Tiger). I'm trying to typeset a piece that has phrasing slurs and repeats. One of the phrasing slurs starts in the repeated section, and it ends in the alternative section. The attached file "slurme.ly.txt" shows the problem. It compiles

LilyPond - dynamics and MIDI output

2007-08-24 Thread Ed Ravin
