I've worked ahead on this piece of music and found that perhaps the problem is not where it thought that it was.
What I saw as a single bar line in the middle of a bar is actually an extra bar who's ending bar line I could not see (yet). As soon as I attempted to move into the next section, the end of the bar appeared. This has been a hair puling problem (thankfully, I still have hair left -- so I am not yet defeated!). The music is as I have described in my first post. I am at the point where the B section is ending and the last A is upon me. | A |: B1 :|: B2 | B2 1st ending :| B2 2nd ending | A || The problem first occurs in the second ending, a bar line in the middle where it should not be. The other problems in this section come from having to move from the B section which is one voice to the A section which has two voices. I've only been partially successful in solving this problem. %%%% Snip %%% % bar 48 } \include "english.ly" \version "2.11.37" upper = \relative c'' { \clef treble \key bf \major \time 2/4 \mark "Allegro" \override TupletNumber #'transparent = ##t \set Staff.extraNatural = ##f \set tupletSpannerDuration = #(ly:make-moment 1 8) \override TupletBracket #'transparent = ##t % second ending { { \times 2/3 { f16[ ) a, ] \change Staff = lower \stemDown f a[ f ] \change Staff = upper f'( d[ ) a ] \change Staff = lower d, f,[ bf,\! ] \p a' \change Staff = upper } } \bar "||" % bar 48 } } \set Score.currentBarNumber = #49 \bar "" | \break \clef treble \key d \minor \times 2/3 { \change staff = lower bf16)->[ e, ] cs'( \change Staff = upper e)->[ g, ] a ] bf->[ f ] d'( ] f)->[ a, ] bs( } | \times 2/3 { cs16)->[ g e'( ] } \times 2/3 { g) [ bf,? ] d( } \times 2/3 { ef->) a,[ a'( ] } \times 2/3 { c?->)[ c, ] d( } | } lower = \relative c' { \clef bass \key bf \major \time 2/4 \skip 16 \skip 16*8 | \break \set Score.currentBarNumber = #49 \bar "" \clef bass \key d \minor r8 <a,, a'>4-. <d d'>8-.~ | % bar 49 <d d'>8 <e e'>4-. <fs fs'>8-.~ | } \score { \new PianoStaff << \override PianoStaff.SpacingSpanner #'base-shortest-duration = #(ly:make-moment 1 16) \set PianoStaff.instrumentName = "Piano " \new Staff = "upper" \upper \new Staff = "lower" \lower >> \layout { } \midi { } } %%%%%% END SNIP %%% I hope this is enough code to see the problem. The change from one voice to two voices is faulty. It only almost works. and part-way through the first bar of A (bar 49) the end of the bar i saw begin in the middle of the second ending appears.
