You are correct. I looked at the history of the file containing this, using <http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=lilypond.git;a=tree> and found that one change is titled: "RemoveEmptyStaves: Remove Harakiri engraver before adding it again." This reason is explained there. It is to avoid ever having two engravers of the same type, which caused problems. This kind of detail often goes without comment in code, or at most a 3-word "avoid having two", because there would otherwise be so many such comments. _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
