I am trying to typset a choral piece with half bar-lines in different places
in different voices.
The two approaches I have seen is to use polymetric notation or possibly
subverting the /breathe command to get the desired effect.
I have been trying to cut and paste examples from the manual, speci
Just to further clarify, this is the problem I am trying to overcome:
/In scores with many staves, a \bar command in one staff is automatically
applied to all staves. The resulting bar lines are connected between
different staves of a StaffGroup, PianoStaff, or GrandStaff./
I am trying to print b
Ah, thanks. I was using the latest stable version which is 12.16.2, updating
to the unstable version did the trick.
Thanks again

For the manual version problem, this arises largely because the manuals are
laid out in such a way as to force one to do a google search on more obscure
implementations, at that point it is very hard to see where you end up
because you are opening 50 tabs that might lead you in the right direction.
Maybe in 20 years time once the development has slowed down some can go back
and comprehensive comprehensible manual, but as it is one has to rely on
googling increasingly obscure search terms to do some of the less common
things that is required when typesetting.

Just to clarify: It often seems as if the simple, obvious things are all in
one easily accessible place but the more fine grained stuff is hidden
somewhere completed different.
What would really be helpful is for the manual to be a singular thing where
even detail conceivably related to bar-lines
That's what I'm referring to (if I am understanding you correctly).
If I want information on barlines I should go to BARLINES, not
Learning>Barlines or Usage>Barlines or Notation>Barlines or
Snippets>Barlines. Just BARLINES.
Never mind various manuals for different version numbers added on top of
I don't want to harp on this point, but it is significant that when I mention
to people that I use Lilypond their faces curl up and frumple. Usually a
little prodding reveals that they have encountered the manuals.
I have invested a little time in trying to figure them out, and I find them

I am more than happy to volunteer, and I realise that it is easy to point
these things out but much harder to actually fix them.

implementations.
The divisions are not really sensible.

Yes, that would be a simple solution, maybe even just with a drop down menu
to select version numbers for stable/unstable.
I would venture that would already be an enormous improvement even if it
isn't a complete fix when it comes to the more obscure stuff.

Thanks, I will take you up on that if you don't mind :)
I am more than happy contribute my time and effort to such an indexing
effort, I think something of that nature would help enormously to improve
the general usability of what I consider to be by far the best music editor
available.

Wow!
That is literally the best thing since sliced banana fritters! That's going

I managed to open it with Sumatra, seems to do the trick.
It gives a warning but goes to the file if you click the bookmarks. The only
catch is that yo
