Because you write an extra 16 . It looks like you are confusing << >> (simultaneous music) and < > (chords) for input here. << >> enclose complete notes including duration while < > enclose only pitches, with the duration following afterwards. When 2.19 sees a duration it cannot otherwise assign meaning to, it reuses the previous chord or pitch entry and iterates the note. This is what allows writing \drums { tambourine 4 8. 16 4 4 } and similar. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
