programming error message with bookparts and page-turn-breaking

[William Rehwinkel]

Dear list,

When I use a lilypond file structured similarly to the following minimal 
example, I get a programming error message thrown when compiling:


programming error: found a page-turnable place which was not breakable

The resulting file does look correct, with the bookparts seperated and 
the other pages structured with the optimal turning algorithm. I was 
just wondering if I was missing something to alleviate the error, as 
usually when one of these pops up I realized it's due to a small error 
in the file.


Thanks,
-Will

\version "2.24.0"

\paper {
  page-breaking = #ly:page-turn-breaking
}

\book {
  \bookpart {
\markup { title page here }
  }
  \bookpart {
\score {
  \relative c' {
\repeat unfold 1024 c8
  }
}
  }
}

You probably tried to use LilyPond comment syntax in a Scheme function.
Scheme comments start with ';' not '%'.

You probably tried to use LilyPond comment syntax in a Scheme function.
Scheme comments start with ';' not '%'.

With Guile 1, as used in LilyPond 2.22, it happens that

#(define (func)
   % a bunch of unbound variables
   'x)

#(display (func))


"works" and prints "x". This is weird. The function body has several
expressions: %, a, ..., 'x, where all the ones before 'x are references
to variables called '%', 'a', ... In Scheme, the expressions before the
last one in a function body are evaluated only for their side effects, the
result is discarded. It seems that Guile 1 somehow detects that a
simple variable can't have a side effect and removes it, even
though it would trigger an error if it were evaluated.

We're on Guile 2 now, and it doesn't have this obscure behavior.

Best,
Jean

Yes, it does seem odd—and avoidable—that NullVoice would have a problem with 
shape notes.

With aikenHeads, there is one note-head shape (the triangle that is not a 
pyramid) that depends on the stem direction.  My assumption is that’s where the 
error is coming from.


Yup.


But if the note is not being shown at all, that logic doesn’t need to be 
executed.


The definition of NullVoice in ly/engraver-init.ly contains

  %% provide non-printing NoteHeads with proper extents for lyric alignment
  \consists Note_heads_engraver
  \omit NoteHead
  \override NoteHead.X-extent = #(lambda (g)

Yes, that would be an option.  I’m already filtering the warning I get from 
setting a custom variable from the command line:

"2>&1 | grep -v '^warning: no such internal option: 
\(aspect-ratio\|style\)$’”

But in this case, I’d be suppressing the error completely.  Which means that, 
in the future, if something I did were to also cause this error, I wouldn’t see 
it.

A different way to approach the problem would be to also specify something like

NoteHead style, so think this is worth creating a bug report.

The command to use aikenHeads comes from a separate style file that gets

How about changing \Staff into \Voice?

\layout {

That way, it won't affect those NullVoice contexts.

$ lilypond source-file.ly |& tee /tmp/complete-errors | grep -v 'programming

Is this hackish enough? The unfiltered errors are available
for consultation in /tmp/complete-errors. I would need sed
rather than grep to filter out the second line only when
preceded by this particular first line.

It should be solved in current master and v3.1.x branches.
The fix will appear in future Frescobaldi 3.1.3.

I opened a PR to update MacPorts' frescobaldi-devel to current v3.1.x.
I hope they will merge it soon.

Frescobaldi runs the convert-ly that is part of the LilyPond distribution.
Although I added /opt/lilypond/bin to the list of default paths, I

The bad news with Catalina is that is won’t run 32 bit apps (Mojave is the last 
version that accepts them), and I suspect that the Python version you’re using 
is such an application.
Maybe switching to a 64 bit Python version will solve the issue.

I think that may be the case: I tried with MacPorts lilypond-devel, of which I 
also made an installer, and it worked standalone, but not in Frescobaldi. 
Perhaps it runs its own convert-ly rather than the one that comes with the

I will investigate it, but since you already use MacPorts, you can

 Original-Nachricht 

I've tried searching for answers on this error but haven't found any singular
root cause for it.  I have an orchestral score and I'm getting the below
error whenever I try adding a note/rest/anything after a certain point in my
staff associated with the clarinet part:

ERROR: Wrong type argument in position 3 (expecting Translator): #
Exited with return code 1.

Adding notes to any other line works for a time, but then I run into the
same error messsage randomly.  I have no clue how to troubleshoot.  Is
anyone able to help?

The current issue is with the "ClarinetMusic" staff.  As stated previously,
I'm unable to add any more notes to it without getting the above error
message.

Not really, but if you run lilypond from the command line there is no 
errors.

*c:\LilyPond-2-20-0-1\usr\bin\lilypond-windows.exe  test.ly

So it looks like Frescobaldi adds something that makes it not work...

Hello,

I get the same error when compiling for preview or publish, but if I 
compile for Layout Control and have Verbose output checked then I get no 
error...


Just an observation!

Untraceable error message: ERROR: Wrong type argument in position 3 (expecting Translator):

[gunnarfm]

I've tried searching for answers on this error but haven't found any singular
root cause for it.  I have an orchestral score and I'm getting the below
error whenever I try adding a note/rest/anything after a certain point in my
staff associated with the clarinet part:

ERROR: Wrong type argument in position 3 (expecting Translator): #
Exited with return code 1.

Adding notes to any other line works for a time, but then I run into the
same error messsage randomly.  I have no clue how to troubleshoot.  Is
anyone able to help?

The current issue is with the "ClarinetMusic" staff.  As stated previously,
I'm unable to add any more notes to it without getting the above error
message.

Re: Error message

Hi Aaron,

The inclusion of *\override Stem.neutral-direction = #'() *comes straight
from the LSR here:

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/snippets/pitches#pitches-automatically-changing-the-stem-direction-of-the-middle-note-based-on-the-melody

Here is another MWE to reproduce the problem:


\version "2.19.82"
\language english

\layout {
  \context {
\Staff
\consists "Melody_engraver"
\override Stem.neutral-direction = #'()
  }
}

\relative c'' {

r4 df \f af gf' cf, ef gf, e' a,
  } |

  \tuplet 3/2 2 { r4 g' bf, f' e, r df' c, r } |
}


And the error message:

More likely than not half of a red herring: garbage protection problems

Melody_engraver takes.


Unless I am completely lost myself, this is not the trampoline problem 
from before, though I suspect the appearance of "Melody_engraver" has 
confused things.


Here is the proper repro MWE:


\version "2.19.82"
{
  \override Stem.neutral-direction = #'()
  \tuplet 3/2 { r4 b' c'' }
}


This is bad input because neutral-direction must be strictly UP or DOWN 
(or rather it can be a procedure that ultimately evaluates to 1 or -1).  
From what I can see, the point of the property is to determine what 
happens to a note on the middle line of a staff when there is nothing 
else (like a beam) that can help sway the decision one way or the other. 
 Setting it to #'() would seem to be meaningless.


Consider the output from the above MWE:


GNU LilyPond 2.19.82
Processing `drul-array-bad-direction.ly'
Parsing...
Interpreting music...
Preprocessing graphical objects...
programming error: Stem dir must be up or down.

T& Drul_array::at(Direction) [with T = double]: Assertion `d == 1 || 
d == -1' failed.

The terminal process terminated with exit code: 134


LilyPond is already emitting a programming error: "Stem dir must be up 
or down".  Whenever I see "cross fingers", I never make any assumption 
of what will work or not.  So a failing assertion afterwards is not 
surprising.


Craig: Would you confirm whether your project output contains the 
programming error line?  I would say there is a bug if you are *only* 
seeing the failing assertion.


Perhaps an additional check could be added to stem.cc:649 to ensure that 
neutral-direction has a sane value, which could catch this particular 
error earlier in the process.

Well, you can use GDB or LLDB but neither one is as simple as that. GDB would 
be a well-standardized solution as LilyPond is compiled using GCC but LLDB is 
the default on Mac OS so GDB is not so easy to set up. LLDB should be usable on 
GCC-compiled programs, but I think there can sometimes be compatibility issues.

Craig, can you share the whole project or not? If not, could you provide the 
most minimal example you have found so that other people using Mac OS can 
investigate further with an example that triggers the issue?

Hi Aaron,

Since your isolated measures involved tuplets, I had wondered if perhaps 
the issue came from the brackets.  Maybe try \omit TupletNumber, both 
with and without \omit TupletBracket.  If the issue is with the 
engraver, you may want to instead try adding this to your project:



\layout { \context { \Voice \remove "Tuplet_engraver" } }


However, I am probably completely off base on where the fault lies.  You 
could try working through the other engravers one at a time similar to 
[1].  The hope is that you might be able to better narrow down the 
project into a MWE that does reproduce the error by getting rid of 
elements that have no effect.


[1]: http://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=280

While getting a repro is important, we should also be looking at ways to 
unblock your work.  I would suggest dividing your project in sections, 
so that you can compile them independently without triggering the error. 
 It does mean needing to manually stitch together multiple outputs into 
a single file, but at least you could continue to work on your score 
while the underlying bug is being investigated.




To the list at large: Any folks here with expertise in running LilyPond 
under a debugger on a Mac?  At this point, Craig is likely going to have 
to get us a stack trace since only he is able to reproduce the error 
without sharing the whole project.  Since my knowledge on that platform 
is extremely limited, I cannot shepherd any further.

Well, just because you can comment out some music and have things work

In your case, you have found two bars that work just fine by themselves.

This is my least favorite kind of error! Whenever I have these, it often 
concerns beaming, especially when LP is trying to beam more than two notes but, 
because of a misplaced octave or perhaps a clef change, it can't draw a 
satisfactory beam. Sometimes, just turning off beaming in 4s can allow the file 
to compile so that you can start investigating. 

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/beams.en.html

If that doesn't work, and if the file has been compiling fine right along, I'll 
assume the issue has to do with the part most recently entered. I'll stick a %} 
at the end of the part and then pick a reasonable point to put a %{ and, with 
that section now "turned off", I'll see if the piece can compile. If not, I 
keep moving the %{ earlier and earlier until it does.

Hope this helps,

Still, erroneous input should be caught by the parser rather than throwing that 
kind of exception. So here the question is what kind of input (condition) is 
able to provoke that problem.

Can it be that the file you try to compile contains an error?

I am just starting and I am not acquainted with Lilypond at all but I 
had a look at the source code. The "d" the failed assertion refers to is 
of type "Direction" and must be 1 or -1. No other values are allowed 
when calling the "at()" method.

It means that some code has attempted to access a Drul_array with an 
invalid direction.  Now seeing as Drul_arrays are so ubiquitous in the 
code base, it is impossible to determine which one is throwing the error 
without a more complete stack trace.


Do you have a MWE for this error?  Failing that, can you run LilyPond 
under gdb and share more details?

I didn't see this error before. But you can delete the .pyc file. .pyc
files are "python byte code" and derived from the .py file with the same
name. If you delete the .pyc file, python will recreate it from the .py
file – hopefully without the magic-number error.

In case you wonder what python has to do with this: convert-ly is
written in python.

Hope that helps,

Hi,

Bad Magic Number is a python error I believe, but I have never seen it using
straight LilyPond from the terminal at all. Totally separate from my usage
of Frescobaldi.

What is the full command you are entering into the terminal that causes the
error?


just "convert-ly -e *.ly" or even "convert-ly" alone.

But: magically the "magic number error" has disappeared all by itself - 
convert-ly does work again as it should. I did not change my 
system/python installation.

Strange!

This problem is likely due to convert-ly using the system installed python
when run from the terminal and the Frescobaldi installed python when run
from Frescobaldi.

I would try prefacing your convert-ly call with

/Applications/Frescobaldi.app/Contents/MacOS/python

which should be a shortcut to the Frescobaldi python, if your Frescobaldi
installation is like my Frescobaldi installation.

HTH,

Undoing that change increases compiletime and VMEM on my machine

Hi all,

in \paper from lilypond-files-harm/lilypond-files/scoreA-init.ily
I had changed #ly:optimal-breaking to #ly:one-line-breaking
and forgot to undo it before sending the zip around.

I'm afraid compilation needs to be retested if you didn't change it
back yourself. At least for my modified files.

Hi Phil,

With the corrected score that produces no warnings I get a fine compile on

RE: Error message

[Andrew Bernard]

Hi All,

I have been working closely with Craig to study the matter. Interestingly,
in this large incomplete score as received, it consumed an ever expanding
amount of memory until it crashed with no output. I observed a set of
warnings regarding missing parts. In my experience one ignores lilypond
warnings, even though not errors, at one's peril. I asked Craig to address
the errors, and then it compiled fine, although still consuming a lot of
memory. That in itself is interesting.

I ran on Linux Mint 18.1, Windows 10, and Mac OS X 10.12.5. All work fine
now. The remaining issue is that as Craig needs to add yet more parts to
this large wind orchestra work that it will max out memory again and fail.
We have yet to see.

Memory use for the lilypond process reaches about 4.9 GiB on linux, and
about 2.9-3 GiB on Windows and OS X.

Looking at the source code, it is clear that Craig is a master user of
lilypond, and I could not find anything obviously funky or misguided or
peculiar in the code that may cause memory blowouts.

My conclusion is that lilypond at this point in time does not handle large
scores in a constrained manner re memory, and as the score gets larger and
longer and longer, so lilypond's memory use just increases in linear
proportion. There must not be any pipelining and parallelism going on.
Indeed, I believe a very closely related thread regarding graphics
pipelining is current in the development list. I can say from this study
here that improvements in this area would welcome, nay, necessary for
ambitiously large projects. If this score reached 200 hundred pages, I doubt
it would compile on 32 bit systems, based in my measurements. And as
mentioned, we fear that adding the remaining parts will require more memory
than is available on 32 bit machines.

Regarding memory usage, I posed a question on the devel list which has so
far been overlooked. Why is the Mac OSX version of lilypond 32 bit, when
Macs have been6 4 bit for a long time? The same question can be asked for
Windows. Why is lilypond on Windows also only 32 bit? Is there some
technical limitation forcing this? Or is it just that the average use does
not make vast scores?

I will mention that it is interesting that on Windows the ram does sit just
under the 3 GiB limit imposed on processes by Microsoft, so perhaps lilypond
is behaving nicely and the linear increase in memory use with size is not
actually correct, and lilypond is managing memory, up to the 32 bit system
limit on Windows, and that it was unaddressed warnings blowing memory out
for some reason.

Andrew

Hi Craig,

as long as I don't need to post larger amounts of your code I'll answer 
onlist.

Hope this is ok with you.

That said, I was not able to compile your code in a reasonable amount of 
time.

I always aborted after ~2h compile-time.

Even while using
ly:one-line-breaking
to skip page-breaking I was not successfull, although you forgot to
include the saxaphon-music in the zip-file, so that I excluded it from
\score.
How long did a successful run last for you?

I'm on an admittedly weak laptop, only 4GB RAM. Using Ubuntu 16.04
64-bit with mutiple lily-versions.

Only thing I stumbled across is your use of scaling durations for
every tuplet like:
   \times 2/3  {
 r8*1023/1024 d'8*513/512 ( [ c8*1023/1024 ) ]
   }
This does not make any sense to me. Why do you do so?

Anyway, even after deleting all scaling of this kind I didn't get a
successful run in a reasonable amount of time.

As far as I can tell nothing else in your code should be that
expensive to eat up memory or to let explode compile-time.

Would be great if someone else with a stronger computer could retest.
For example, I didn't try to exclude Melody_engraver.
During the 2h compile-time my computer is not usable for other stuff.
And I need to restart afterwards.
So I give up on this.

Hi Craig,

I'd offer to have a look at your score, if you send it to me privately.

More like LilyPond does not have enough RAM.  I think it is a 32bit
executable.  In that case I don't think it will get much more than 3GB
regardless of what you may have installed.  LilyPond's representation of
printed output items is sort-of wasteful but I am still surprised that
someone manages to hit the 3GB mark.

Hi,

I'm on a Mac Sierra 10.12.5, Lilypond 2.19.36
It has 8GB of RAM but when engraving my score Lilypond is using almost 3GB.
When it gets close to the 3GB point is when it crashes and I get the malloc
error. Could it be simply that I don't have enough RAM?

Hi Craig,

Version number and platform?

I have very large, very complex scores of similar length (100 pages +) that
compile with no problem (but keyboard music so perhaps considerably fewer

Sounds like you are running out of memory.  Are there (artificial)

Error message

[Maxime's Music]

Hi Lilyponders,

I've been working on a very big score, adding staves one at a time.
There are 34 staves, and the PDF is 107 pages long. When I add in either of
the final two staves I get this error message:


lilypond(43147,0xa70c91c0) malloc: *** mach_vm_map(size=1048576) failed
(error code=3)

*** error: can't allocate region

*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug


Can anyone point me in the right direction to start working out what is
wrong?


All the best,


Craig

Maybe something like Python3:

>>> prnit("Something")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in 
NameError: name 'prnit' is not defined

We could have something like:

error: unknown item 'h'

None of which have the form of a string.  I do think that the error

To add something more general to that: The "error: unrecognized string"
indicates that LilyPond is given something to parse (here: "h") which it
doesn't understand ("recognize") at this place. It can be a note name in
the wrong language but it could also be a misspelled command (e.g.
\brake instead of \break) or a variable you have declared in another
file which you forgot to include.

So essentially this error tells you "There is *something* wrong with
your input but I can't tell you what exactly". And LilyPond can't tell
you "this is not a note name" here because there are plenty of other
valid things that could go there, articulations, dynamics, ties,
arbitrary commands or Scheme expressions ...

the error message "`Shall' is not a note name" is probably clue enough

The odd thing here is that your error message's commandline appears
not to be derivable from the above AFAICT.

warning: `(gs -q -dNOSAFER -dDEVICEWIDTHPOINTS=595.28 
-dDEVICEHEIGHTPOINTS=841.89 -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -r1200 
-sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=./All night.pdf -c.setpdfwrite -fAll night.ps)'

So it leaves me wondering where your gs command is being invoked from.

... which is fine as long as others (who might wish to use spaces)
don't hit the same problem. But as you wrote that you moved a few
files around, perhaps this had some bearing on the problem.

Cheers,
David.

David, it's the same. This is from my Windows installation.

exec "$GS_EXECUTABLE" $OPTIONS -q -P- -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite
-sstdout=%stderr "-sOutputFile=$outfile" $OPTIONS -c .setpdfwrite -f
"$infile"

It's no longer an issue as I won't use spaces in file names again.

Debian's 2.18.2 passes this whitespace test just fine, below.
2.19 avoids part of the potential problem by using a nonce PS filename.

At first glance, it looks as if the problem might be caused by the
last line of lilypond/usr/bin/ps2pdfwr which looks like:

exec "$GS_EXECUTABLE" $OPTIONS -q -P- -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH -sDEVICE=pdfwrite 
-sstdout=%stderr "-sOutputFile=$outfile" $OPTIONS -c .setpdfwrite -f "$infile"

What does the Windows version have here?

The same holds for Linux and Mac OS, it’s a shell feature actually.

Same here, I've only had this issue on Windows and it's happened enough
times where I was getting very frustrated. I almost never boot up my Win10
machine anymore these days, so when I do, this is just one of the many
annoyances with Microsoft that reminds me of how good I have it with Debian.
:)

Linux has no issues with the PDF external or otherwise, for sure!

Jean,

Thanks to all who answered. It seems to be the space in the file name. I 
replaced it with an underline and it seems OK now.

Should be a warning to all application developers: if you're going to put 
Windows file names in a script, always enclose them in quotes!

On top what all the others already said here is my experience:

I've only seen things like that on Windows (as is your case too) and when
it happened I *always* had the to-be-created PDF open in an external
viewer (not Frescobaldi). On Linux that works w/o problems is is then
reloaded automatically in the viewer, but on Windows I always have to
close the viewer, run Lp and reopen the viewer.

Kind regards,
Michael

Hi Peter,

I've actually seen that error a few times in the past when trying to engrave
to PDF via Frescobaldi, for example. It is related to the PDF output I
believe, I narrowed it down. No clue what triggers it but I fixed it by
simply renaming the file and Windows liked it.

Hope that helps.

The white space inside the file name might be the issue. On *nix the
command would fail because of that, white spaces need to be escape.

Re: Any idea what this error message means?

[Jacques Menu Muzhic]

Hello Peter,

Maybe the problem stems from spaces in file names such as :

All night.pdf

You could avoid them, or place such files names in quotes such as 'All 
night.pdf’.

Can you try that?

Re: Lilypon error message: "Programming error -- bounds of the piece aren't breakable"

[Urs Liska]

If you run that score with the current development version it will not
crash but produce the attached result (for your reference).

But the log shows that you have errors in it (you can ignore the
warnings about strange time signatures but look for warning: mid-measure
time signature without \partial). Obviously LilyPond 2.18 didn't
gracefully handle the faulty input.

Lilypon error message: "Programming error -- bounds of the piece aren't breakable"

[mclaren]

Now we get to the interesting Lilypond scores, the ones that cause Lilypond
to crash or produce error messages.  

This simple score makes Lilypond die and stop engraving after a couple of
measures with the error message "Programming error: bounds of this piece
aren't  breakable."  Lilypond gives lots of "continuing -- crossing fingers"
and ultimately fails to engrave the score.  Yet Lilypond claims "Completed
successfully"!

This simple score is broken up into measures of tuplets each of which has a
large time signature. Because these time signatures would make Lilypond
crash (LILYPOND HAS STOPPED WORKING is the error message), I have had to
approximate the time signatures with smaller rational fraction
approximations in each case.  This is a workaround, but it seems to work in
other Lilypond scores without trouble.

For example, the time signature 21632/3135 had to be approximated by the
smaller time signature 2285/403. The smaller time signature is accurate to
within a couple of parts per million, though, so it works out okay.

That's not the issue. The issue is that Lilypond just can't seem to handle a
score in which every note is a broken tuplet, and in which large time
signatures are used. 

Notice that by the time we reach the dotted quarter note tuplet 14 in the
time of 11 B in the top measure, Lilypond has given up the ghost. Lilypond
doesn't even print the tuplet. It has freaked out. Lilypond is no longer
working properly.

Clearly, this score makes Lilypond blow its stack. What I'd like to know is:
is there any workaround? Any suggestions for getting Lilypond to actually
engrave what I've entered?

Lilhypond gives the message "Completed successfully" but clearly Lilypond
isn't completing anything successfully. It gives up and stops engraving the
score after the first two and a  half measures.

Here's the Lilypond score:

Re: Scheme error message

[Urs Liska]

Hi Andrew,

thank you for these explanations. I wouldn't have thought of trying the
construct in another Scheme implementation (although Racket should still
be installed somewhere on my PC ...).

So it more or less boils down to a syntax error that Guile doesn't
really understand. Maybe because the (1 . 2) looks somewhat like an
improper list to the parser?

Anyway, now I'm closer to provide a proper explanation (you know where).

Re: Scheme error message

[Andrew Bernard]

Hi Urs,

I’d say it is poor error reporting on the part of guile. (Oh no, I’m not 
starting that again! :-))

If you look at what racket says in these cases, which is clear, you can see tha 
guile makes a poor job of explaining to the user in your example. No wonder you 
are confused by guile.

racket:

> (1 2 3)
application: not a procedure;
 expected a procedure that can be applied to arguments
  given: 1
  arguments...:
   2
   3
  context...:
   /home/andro/racket/collects/racket/private/misc.rkt:87:7
> (1 . 2)
stdin::40: application: bad syntax
  in: (1 . 2)
  context...:
   /home/andro/racket/collects/racket/private/misc.rkt:87:7


Something I notice is that you get an ABORT which is presumably the result of 
an error having been thrown, and guile does not have an appropriate key for 
this so they just use the wrong number of arguments key. There needs to be a 
key ‘bad syntax’ to throw for this error. That would be better.

In guile 2 we get:

scheme@(guile-user)> (1 2 3)
ERROR: In procedure 1:
ERROR: Wrong type to apply: 1

scheme@(guile-user)> (1 . 2)
While compiling expression:
ERROR: Syntax error:
unknown file:1:0: source expression failed to match any pattern in form (1 . 2)

So this has been addressed in guile 2.

Andrew

Hm, strange. I can see your point but don't understand what really
happens. Makes a hard time explaining things you don't have a clue about ...

Interestingly Scheme *does* make a difference:

guile> (random . 2)
standard input:121:1: While evaluating arguments to random in expression
(random . 2):
standard input:121:1: Wrong number of arguments to #
ABORT: (wrong-number-of-args)

"Wrong number of arguments" is apparently Guile's phrasing for "bad
argument list".  Guile apparently never gets as far as checking whether
1 is callable.
