It's a bug, see http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-lilypond/2006-07/msg00089.html One workaround is to remove the files lilylib.py and convertrules.py in C:\Program Files\LilyPond\usr\share\lilypond\current\python\ /Mats David Griffel wrote: I just installed 2.9.13 on WinXP after uninsta

For version 2.8.5, WinXP, I get the following warnings in my log but the music pdf looks fine, anything to worry about? It's polyphony, and I do use \skip1 in the inner voices a lot when they are inactive in measures, is this the cause? # -*-compilation-*- Changing working directory to `F:/_Pe
