Hi Harm, It's the New_fingering_engraver! It will also activate the Script_engraver, that's why the scripts are there from the beginning in newer LilyPond versions, even before explicitly adding the Scrip_engraver. And as long as there are no stems, you get the "script direction not yet known" messages.
*Remedy 1:* Remove \consists "New_fingering_engraver" from the initial MyVoice definition. Another thing is the localKeySignature translation-type property check warning. *Remedy 2:* localKeySignature is obsolete now and can be junked. After these adaptions, the snippet will run as it should without complaining in recent LilyPond versions.. HTH, Torsten -- Sent from: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Dev-f88644.html
