Phil answered your main questions already. Here is another note: > \version "2.19.2" LilyPond offers "even-numbered" stable versions (currently 2.18.2) and "odd-numbered" development versions (currently 2.19.39). The development versions are where new features are developed and solidified. As a result, any given development version tends to have some problems and the results change occasionally (more often than not, they improve, but that's not guaranteed). Also some stuff may cease working at all for a version or two. It's rare but by no means impossible. So while there does not tend to be much of a difference between, say, using 2.18.0 and 2.18.2 (the latter usually having a few more bug fixes), differences in the 2.19 series are much larger and one usually has the best balance between benefits and drawbacks of development versions by sticking to fairly recent versions. 2.19.2, however, is almost as old as 2.18.0 (close to two years I think). It's actually older than 2.18.1. That seems like a strange choice to use. Now I don't know whether this is the actual version you use or just what you write in the input file. But I found it worth mentioning. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
