Thanks, it's useful to know that Lilypond doesn't have printable objects to represent time values shorter than 1/128 note, but that Lilypond nevertheless does insert them into scores and deal with them.
This offers an example of the inadequacy of the Lilypond documentation. This kind of limitation in Lilypond's output really should be featured prominently somewhere in the basic info about entering note-values in the Lilypond Learning Guide. One sentence would do: "WARNING: Lilypond has no glyphs to represent note- or rest-values shorters than 1/128 note, but if they are entered they will alter the score and appear as beamed values." Or something like that. The Lilypond documentation is poorly organized and extremely incomplete. For exmaple, I was only only able to find out about tie direction control by glancing at an unrelated list of tweaks. Tie direction control \tieUp and \tieDown should be featured prominently in the Lilypond Learning Manual in the section on ties. -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Mystery-empty-staves-appear-on-score-tp196198p196264.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
