I repeat: with the exact given examples in the manual, the location data is correct. I don't think location data is covered with more than glancing detail in the manual. Location data will be attached to the copies created by \... (as an identifier) or $..., and location data can be attached to constructed music explicitly by setting the music property 'origin to it. Music functions attach the call location to the resulting top-level expression (which does not help much except for music functions returning basic music expressions). It might make sense attaching origin data to music accepted via #... (which is not copied) as well. That will wreak havoc when data is being reused, but reusing music without copying is explicitly considered a bad idea. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
