Hi, LilyPonders - Thanks, Kieren, for the help and the bar check tip. I got that section to look the way I wanted. However, I went back to the beginning and started entering bar checks and ran into a problem.
I'm running 2.8.4.1 under Windows XP Pro, SP2, and using jEdit 4.3 pre5 with LilyPond Tool and SideKick. jEdit seems to misinterpret some numeric characters as durations. It seems LilyPond itself doesn't have the same difficulty. However, when I checked the log.ly, even though the music compiled, I got warnings, including: ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Parsing... Interpreting music... warning: type check for `X-extent' failed; value `(0.0)' must be of type `pair of numbers' [8][16][24][32][40] warning: type check for `X-extent' failed; value `(0.0)' must be of type `pair of numbers' [48] +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Can anyone tell me how to locate the bracketed numbers? They don't appear to be line numbers or bar numbers. Are they, perhaps, related to the definition of MarkL and emptyMark? : xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx markL = \once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'self-alignment-X = #-1 emptyMark = \once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'X-extent = #'(0.0) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Thank you for your help, and thanks for all the work on LilyPond. I like it more as I get more used to it. Certainly ABC is more user friendly, but nowhere near as flexible, especially in circumstances a little off the beaten track.
