Hi, thanks to Graham for his almost instantaneous help. On Sunday 14 August 2005 03:08, Graham Percival wrote: > s1 means "a whole-note invisible rest" -- in other words, sixteen 16th > notes. You probably want to use s2 here.

The developers will have good reasons for requiring brand-new versions of several auxiliary libraries and tools, but the downside might be that some people have to stay behind a bit and that it can be difficult to get the latest-and-greatest version of Lilypond running. However, I guess for an absolute newbie like me, 2.4 will be just as good - and then, Lilypond comes with an upgrade tool, as it seems. Cheers, Thomas --
