Then you did a bad job of reducing it. When constructing a tiny example, you make the smallest possible file that still demonstrates the problem. > I spend hours trying to reduce the project to its point of seg > fault. Sure. That sounds fair to me -- what, you want *me* to spend hours working on *your* file? Somebody needs to reduce that segfault to less than 10 lines of lilypond input. You're more interested in this issue than I am, and way more familiar with your symphony than me, so *I'm* not going to spend time creating a tiny example for you. > Hence, the issue becomes frozen.

You should come to the list with the *right amount* of information. And with a tiny bit of practice, it takes about 15 minutes to reach the point of "right amount" of information. - do you see the problem if you compile the tuba part by itself? great, you've just eliminated 90% of your symphony. - do you see the problem if you comment out the first half of the tuba part? what about the second half? great, you've just cut your remanining "problem area" in half. - repeat the process of commenting stuff out until you have 1 or 2 bars. - now look at the notes. You probably have some accientals in those 2 bars. What happens if you remove those accidentals? what about slurs, articulations? try removing all of those, one by one, and see if the segfault still remains. > Let me know if you want the project. No, I don't want the project. - Graham _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
