While in no way disagreeing that perhaps there might be a way of soliciting more information to be forthcoming, I would ask you to be careful with what you wish for. "continuing, cross fingers" is a valuable tool for restricting search results to LilyPond errors. Besides, what have you got against wit? It's part of a venerable tradition in computing, particularly the free side. http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/anthropomorphization.html Daring to tackle your timid suggestion from a position of ignorance (about LP, that is, not ignorance of writing software), I assume you're talking about a line number or position in your .ly source where the error occurs. It seems likely to me that the programming error originates from the competing interests of a larger section of your source than a specific line. In other words, LP is trying to juggle too many balls; no one ball is specifically to blame. If you mean a line number or position in the program where the error originates, well it's possible that "programming error" means that an assertion failed for some reason and the underlying cause might not be easy to track down. That's why programmers include assertions: so that they get told there's a problem rather than just ending up with a rendering that just looks wrong for no apparent reason. They then try to debug the program. So sorry not to be able to help with your flageolets, but please leave the error's means of expression alone.

Programming error - cross fingers
I am trying to write a crotchet chord with two notes each with a \flageolet on them (as per a recent thread). In my score of a very densely packed 25 pages so far when doing this I get the following error, multiple times programming error: Grob direction requested while calculation in progress. continuing, cross fingers and the second flageolet does not render. While I am sure this is informative to some, since there is no position or context indicated, I am at a loss to know how to debug my score. Using version 2.19.43. I apologise if this question appears hopelessly vague. I am utterly unable to reproduce this behaviour in a standalone MWE. The gist of this email is that I would appreciate it if anybody could tell me the sort of issues that this error is trying to alert one to. Dare I suggest timidly that a line number or rough location or _something_ would be helpful with this error? As with similar errors before, crossing one’s fingers achieves nothing - and may better be omitted from such messages, or perhaps rephrased to something less witty (?) such as ‘making best effort to continue’ or similar.

RE: programming error: cross fingers
Seems OK with version 2.4.6.

Hi!
I've made a short lilypond file. If i compile it with lilypond, than i get 2
(error?) messages, but lilypond did make the pdf. The pdf file looks good,
but i can't figure it out, what this messages mean. Can anyone tell me, what
did i wrong with my ly-file or what's the exact problem here?
Thanx:
