2011-07-10 Thread Peter Wright
Hi all, I've run into a problem typesetting a choral piece, and was wondering if anyone could either confirm whether this is (or isn't) a bug in Lilypond. I'd also very much appreciate it if anyone could suggest a better workaround than the one I'm currently using. :-) I've generated a minimal e

2008-11-02 Thread Peter Wright
Hi all, I've run into an interesting problem - it's strange enough that I'm starting to suspect it might be an actual bug (though the odds are still probably in favour of me misunderstanding something). Here's a two-bar illustration of the problem - first, with an empty bar and then acciaccatura
