Here are two examples: * programming error: Adding reverse rod continuing, cross fingers * warning: cannot find property type-check for `no-spacing- rods' (backend-type?). perhaps a typing error? warning: doing assignment anyway Ideally, I would like to produce LilyPond source that generates no warnings or errors when compiled. How do I find out what those (and other) messages really mean? What's a reverse rod? Why would one be needed? What's a no-spacing- rod? There doesn't seem to be any information in those two error messages that would allow me to find where in my source the problem is. What is a programming error? A problem in my source code or a bug in LilyPond? Thanks, Pat ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

In the 2.13 docs, it's in Usage 1.3 Error messages.

I agree that it would be nice if there were a more comprehensive documentation somewhere. * programming error: Adding reverse rod continuing, cross fingers This happens to me with the ambitus engraver. Something to do with when the ambitus reaches above and below the staff or something like that. It's harmless and (AFAIK) is a fundamental issue that you as the typesetter can't somehow fix. Cheers!
