The LilyPond 1.2.0 Reference Manual, section 6.5.4, states: \cadenza togglevalue; Music expression that toggles the automatic generation of bar lines. If togglevalue is 0, bar line generation is turned off. If togglevalue is 1, a bar is immediately printed and bar generation is turned on. This seems to be backwards: \cadenza 1; turns barline generation off, and \cadenza 0; turns it on. -- Laura (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] , http://www.world.std.com/~lconrad/ ) (617) 661-8097 fax: (801) 365-6574 233 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02139
