I've observed this instability with multiple voices newly created in lots of bars, but never been able to tie it down to anything other than "complexity", even in a single page of piano music. Sometimes changing a single note can bring it on; sometimes adding another bar (with yet more voices!) makes it work again. I conjecture that creating new voices in every bar puts a strain on the memory management which it is not up to. I have changed to the style of having just a few multiple voices which run for the length of the piece, only adding local voices occasionally when called for. Writing like this the problem doesn't appear. Paul _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list bug-lilypond@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
