Thanks for the comments, No the solutions didn't compile or I just don't understand what Toine means/meant. Putting the additional materials in the layout just ground the program to a halt. So I am living as it's not the biggest deal for the exercise- it was just that I was surprised that the \remove for bar number should not work in the same place as the other removes AND that it didn't work anywhere else in a score that otherwise compiled and looked good enough.
As for your example- I don't do that level of tweaking, in fact I change stem directions and that's about it. Also I'm probably way overstating my familiarity with 2.14 as the documents have changed so radically that unless something doesn't work for me I don't look it up to read more. so my structures are probably totally wrong for even that version but happily work. When I looked at and used an orchestral template recently the log file couldn't even tell me the correct thing to correct. I had to ask and then spend hours fiddling and I'd rather spend my music time composing/teaching playing and not trying to untie knots that didn't use to exist. Thanks J PS I've never gotten anything I've tried to convert-ly to compile. -- Jay Hamilton Sound and Silence www.soundand.com 206-328-7694
