I'm attempting to reproduce the engraving of a baroque prelude which is without barlines (although it appears to be in 12/8, as the bass voice has some dotted whole notes), and at one point the original engraving has put a line break two thirds of the way through a dotted half note in the bass voice. The solution given in the NR for forcing a line break in the middle of a measure ( http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.17/Documentation/notation/line-breaking ) doesn't work here - Lilypond puts a warning in the log "forced break was overridden by some other event, should you be using bar checks?", and ignores the forced break. Is there any way to force a break at this point? This example demonstrates what happens (I'm using 2.17.26): { << { \repeat unfold 10 { c''4 } \bar "" \break \repeat unfold 10 { c''4 } } \\ { \repeat unfold 5 { c1 } } >> } Nick, I'm sure someone will weigh-in with a cleverer solution but this comes to mind; That line breaking thing will not break in the middle of a note as you've discovered. How about scaling that dotted half note by 2/3 and then following it with a skip after the break? I don't know what pitch it is but something like: c2.*2/3 \break s4 ...might do the trick. -David _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
