It is very possible that the compiler issued some warnings. I didn't pay attention; I looked for the "successfully completed" message, and then refreshed the .ps, I have let my eye run over your two solutions, and I am totally awed and bowled over. I notice your tons of guile, which is very impressive. Although I am somewhat familiar with LISP, I have only used guile in a couple of spots in my sorties into LIlypond. So I shall do some more reading and experimenting. I have already remarked: the string players who have played my parts as I set them -- bad bar checking and all -- didn't seem to have difficulty; they were more startled than anything else. Which leads me to another thought: is it possible to delete _one_ bar line? My thought(please excuse again the rough code indication, for which I have been chastised several times!): what about |ees4 d c | c4. d8 bes4. \delete{|} a8 a4. g8 | g2 r4 | ? This would be extremely unkosher -- I know nowhere where this is done -- but I think it would be readable. I would like to try it on my LA friends and on my own 4tet. Is it easy to implement such a \delete function, as implemented above? I would want the spacing to be just as if the barline were there . . . All thoughts/ideas/implementations welcome!
