This might be outdated. \cadenzaOn/\cadenzaOff now work by halting measurePosition which is less invasive but has other problems. It still has a problem with counting bars when bars are generated manually: this might still warrant fixing at some point of time. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
