Thanks, David. I'm very much at the stage of using example files and modifying them so that they work for me as far as Lilypond is concerned - and can't even plod through your Scheme function definition to work out what it's doing!
4 bars per line or 8 bars per line will do everything I want - the reason I started investigating further is that the... \repeat unfold 3 { s1 \noBreak s1 \noBreak s1 \noBreak s1 \break } ...trick I'd been using up to now had caused a problem with the leadsheet for a song I was working on - it produced an extra blank stave, which I couldn't get rid of until I came across your function. Any chance of your documenting its inner workings for a Scheme virgin? -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Four-Bars-per-Line-System-again-tp45952p170989.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
