Perhaps not really a bug, but an inconvenience anyway:
When the TabStaff finds a note that is out of the range of the instrument, it dies with an ugly and cryptic "low level" error message, with no indication about the measure or line where the error is found (or even what the problem is about). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- \lilypond.exe" testcase3.ly GNU LilyPond 2.10.19 Processing `testcase3.ly' Analizando... Interpreting music... ERROR: In procedure list-ref: ERROR: Argument 2 out of range: 6 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This can make fairly difficult for the user to find out what is happening and where. I attach a simple testcase below. Cheers Hernán J.
