RE: Measure runs off PDF file after 5 8th notes in 4/4 time
Thanks for the help on this issue without even looking at the source. I added measure checks for every measure until it cleaned up. As Trevor says there was a long measure that caused the problem and now I'm back to working on the music. I had one other email that also mentioned this as the likely source and grateful for the quick and accurate response the I got from the list. regards, JJ --- Trevor Daniels <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > John > > The usual cause of this behaviour is because > LilyPond cannot > find a suitable place to break the line.

RE: Measure runs off PDF file after 5 8th notes in 4/4 time
John The usual cause of this behaviour is because LilyPond cannot find a suitable place to break the line. Line breaks can occur only at 'complete' bars, ie where the last note(s) in the bar in all staves end(s) at the automatically inserted barline. If any note carries over no break can take place. A single wrongly inserted duration can progagate this condition though many bars. A bar check will generate a warning at each check where a carry-over of duration occurs. If carry-overs are intended, a manually inserted bar can indicate to LP that a break may occur. Other things that can prevent a line break are a sequence of manually inserted beams or tuplets which straddle barlines.

Hi John, If anyone has seen anything like this I have... and it's always a duration problem. I'm surprised your bar checks haven't turned up anything. I would be happy to know how to work around it. Well, without the code, it's impossible for anyone on the list to diagnose, never mind fix. ;-) Best, Kieren. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
