2004-06-18 Thread Thomas Scharkowski
Hello list, when changing the key lilypond (2.2.2, cygwin) prints a single barline before the cautionary accidentals at the end of the line. Isn't a double barline standard? I looked at several examples in printed scores and always found a double barline. Thank you, Thomas ___

2004-06-18 Thread Magnus Lewis-Smith
