Not sure it's a bug. The \transpose command transposes I think it is (and I reported it as one some time ago). The point of \transposition is to notate a Staff at a different pitch from its sounding pitch. When you combine this with other staves, with different transpositions, the whole thing shoul dthen be transposable. iirc (from falling afoul of this myself), \tranposition is to do with midi output. Nothing whatever to do with printing music. Seeing as I don't do midi, I just dropped using \transposition and forgot about it. Mind you, I think the then-current version of lilypond was 2.4 ... Producing the correct pitch in MIDI for transposing instruments being notated at pitch is certainly the principal use of \transposition. It's other use is to transpose cues into the correct pitch when they appear in other parts. So if you don't need either MIDI or cues \transposition can be ignored. Umm ... I do everything in concert pitch anyway (playing the trombone, it's a transposing instrument if it feels like it :-) so I would do Clar= just like you do when entering notes so Clar is concert pitch. Then, under normal circumstances when printing it I'd transpose it back to B flat. Obviously, you'd not do it here. So, FROM CHOICE, the way I would do it is Clar = \transpose c' bf { clarinet notes } Piano = \transpose c' c' { piano notes } % to output music at pitch \score { \staff \transpose bf c' \Clar \staff \Piano } % to output music transposed down a tone \score { \staff \transpose c' bf { \transpose bf c' \Clar } \staff \transpose c' bf { \Piano } } I know you might look at that and think what on earth, but to me (playing an instrument that may or may not transpose, and working with other instruments that are mostly transposing), I just find it so much easier to work with everything at concert pitch, and transpose as required on input and output. (You could probably put that transpose at score level, I don't know, but I'm just trying to show the way I think.) Holding all music in variables at concert pitch is a sensible approach.

With the bass_8 clef it is. So for bass the template should have a bass_8 clef right?

Well, then it's probably worth tracking down the exact input file passed to ghostscript and to check wether it's a general bug of ghostscript or of the FreeBSD port of ghostscript. I'll contact you offlist in a few days (since this problem seems to be not related to lilypond). Either tomorrow or next weekend.

The piece is in 6/8 time. Thanks, Chip In 6/8 time, there should be six eighth notes or three quarter notes per bar, but with a quarter-note triplet (your \times 2/3 {} construct) you have the equivalent of two quarter notes (triplet = three notes in the space of two), so you're a quarter note short in that bar. It seems strange to me to even see a triplet in 6/8 time. Tim Reeves___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Writing text in a measure
I'm trying to write text in an otherwise empty measure (some special performance instructions). not above it or below, but in it. How can I do that? There is a snippet doing something like that http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=258 but when I apply it my text overwrites music after the bar in which the text is contained. I need something like music .. |s-\markup {Play loud random notes, then burn your instrument (30s) }| more notes...

Stanza number before each line of a verse?
I want to put the Stanza number before every line of verse in a longer hymn, but cannot get the hint here to work: http://www.geoffhorton.com/lilypond.html#versenumbers Investigating the Stanza_number_engraver doesn't seem to give any clues, either. Is this possible to do without manual markup? ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
