Hello all, I'm developing a program that does various things to sounds including various ways of creating scores. One of the things intends to produce simple guitar chords with fret diagrams, chord names, and strumming patterns by generating a Lilypond file. I'm currently using the ragged-right = ##t option in the layout section and most of the time the results are fine. However, if you compile the following code it provides an exception as the last line runs way off into the margin and the last four notes are lost.From the documentation I'm guessing the reason this is happening is that the bar lines aren't being properly accounted for on my end as I am not breaking up durations across bar lines. While maybe, someday, I'll be able to figure out how to eliminate that problem on my end I was wondering if there was a way to get Lilypond to skip to the next line anyway without any kind of manual intervention. There are something like 2.5 quintillion scores that can be potentially produced by this software so there is no way to handle them manually. (Note, I've included the Lilypond file exactly as my program created it minus the spacing).

David,That sounds exciting! When I ran your code, just as you gave it above, I didn't have _any_ problems (I guess I'm using 2.18.2, but I'm not sure why that would make our outputs THAT much different), not even a warning.
I've attached my output. It looks fine to me! Hope you can get it working.
Regards, Abraham
