In your code no tuplet ends at the end of the measure (you can check this by inserting bar checks) so Lily cannot make any breaks and music overflows page. The second staff is not needed for this problem to occur - try compiling this: { c32 c c16 \times 8/7 {c16 c c c c c32 c c16} \times 7/6 {c c c c c c } \times 5/4 { c16 c c c32 c } \times 4/3 {c16 c32 c c c } \times 4/3 {c16 c c } \times 5/4 { c c c32 c c16 } \times 6/5 {c16 c c32 c c c c16 } \times 7/6 { c16 c c32 c c16 c32 c c c } } \layout { indent = 10 \cm } You can override LilyPond's default behaviour, see Notation Reference 1.2.1 "Tuplets" http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond/Writing-rhythms#Tuplets Besides, i think that \times 4/3 {c16 c c } is not the standard way of writing. I suppose it should be \times 2/3 {c8 c c }. cheers, Janek _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
