Hi all

Using 2.18.2, I'm having problems with a long tempo bumping into another
tempo marking a couple of bars later. I'm transcribing music for brass
bands, so I tend to put the timing structure in a variable so it can be
used for other instruments easily. So something like *this*:


%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.18.2"

timing = {
\tempo \markup { \column { "Moderato Con" "Dolore e Fuoco" } } 4=94
s1*2
\tempo "accel."
s1
\bar "|."
}

eflatMusic = \relative c {
\markLengthOn
<f c>1->\ff ~ | <f c>\> ~ | <f c>8\p r8 r4 r2
}

\score {
\new Staff {
<<
\timing
{ \clef "treble_8" \eflatMusic }
>>
}
}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%


works well, producing

However, when I try and make the decrescendo start half-way through the
bar, I get *this*:

Here's how I'm making the decrescendo start halfway through:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
eflatMusic = \relative c {
\markLengthOn
<f c>1->\ff ~ | << { <f c>\> ~ | <f c>8 } \new Voice { s2 s\> s8\p } >> r8
r4 r2
}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

but I get the same effect if I put the dynamics in a separate variable and
add a \new Dynamics into the score. It just seems weird that adding in an
extra voice destroys the effect of \markLengthOn. Any ideas?

Dave
