Hi, I have problems regarding ties and triplets with Lilypond version 2.7.12 for Windows 98. Here is the entire file for your reference (if you copy the file to Notepad, every line consists of four(4) bars):

The ties are incorrectly positioned vertically on the notes. Why is this? Is this another bug in 2.7.12? I've included the entire file because when I tried to replicate the individual bars with the ties, everything is ok( the ties are correctly positioned when I only generate that particular bar). I know for certain that this problem doesn't appear in versions 2.6.x Secondly, why are there brackets appearing underneath the triplet notes, above the "3" symbol in bars 31 and 97 respectively? I know from experience that only the "3" symbol appears when using version 2.6.x Is there a way to get rid of the brackets for the triplets? I'm assumming that since both these problems occur in 2.7.12 and not in 2.6.x that the problem lies in the programme and not the file itself. Can anybody please help? Thank you. Yours sincerely, Seng Liang. P.S. I would be happy to send the pdf file if anyone would like to see it instead of generating it themselves. I don't know if these problems are system related (I'm using Windows 98). So if you use XP the problem might not appear in your pdf file. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
