Sorry, I'm on holiday and I haven't been checking email regularly, so
this probably isn't much use any more, but anyway...


 My score looks quite nice on 17 systems spread over 5 pages -- I would like:
   Page 1: title + 3

 Unfortunately, minimal-breaking causes Lilypond to [try to] cram everything

 my problems is related to the known bug regarding the missing properties
   blank-page-force = 0
   blank-after-score-page-force = 0
 but I've explicitly set that as well.

Which known bug is this? I searched the bug tracker for blank and
blank-page-force with no results.

I think that manual breaks are the easiest solution.  You could
separate it into distinct \bookparts, but that would be much more work

OK...  =\

No disrespect meant to anyone, in particular Joe who has done a fabulous job 
increasing the flexibility and scope of the spacing code… but:

MAO MAO-ING MAO, can we please resolve these spacing issues ASAP? Are we really 
comfortable telling people -- especially newbies -- that, in order to have 
Lilypond output good-looking scores, they have to:
  1. manually insert breaks in the music (ruining the separation of content 
from presentation, unless they use \tag which is stupid MAO-ing overkill); or,
  2. manually insert breaks in some score-specific variable with skips that 
they have to count and keep synchronized with the music?

Oh, and p.s. Noob: manually inserting \pageBreaks does not, by itself, 
guarantee that Lilypond will actually break pages *only* there: you also have 
to mess around with the mao-ing #'page-break-permission, and maybe something 
else we've forgotten to warn you about.

Sorry for the rant -- I blame the deadline pressure -- but it really is a bit 
ludicrous, and does not give Lilypond the best possible chance of impressing 
anyone out of the box. If this issue isn't on your critical 2.14-killer list,

For the record, there are NO KNOWN BUGS with the new spacing
algorithm.  Every single spacing regression bug that has been sent to
bug-lilypond has been fixed.
** nb: actually, this might be incorrect.  There's about 5-10 bugs
that were sent to bug-lilypond, but for which nobody has processed
them.  One of those might contain a nicely-written bug report with a
Tiny example which demonstrates this problem.  So rather: every single
spacing regression bug that was entered to the issue tracker has been
fixed.


Because of our recent discussion about contributors getting started,
I've spent an hour rewriting the CG chapter about Issues and the
website help us page.  Hopefully in a few weeks I can start
recruiting new people to join the Bug Squad -- perhaps even you? this
requires absolutely zero interaction with the source code and
compilation, after all -- so that we won't lose good bug reports.  (or
even non-good bug reports)

Hopefully after the deadline is over, you could create a tiny example
of your problem and report it as a bug.  Or, since Joe doesn't seem to
be very picky about spacing bugs, and is probably willing to assure
you that he will not show copywritten material to anybody else, you
might be able to send your current score directly to him.


But I want to be absolutely clear that I can do is organize the bug
reports and attempt to herd the cattish developers.  If I have no
reports (again, leaving aside the lost ones), I can't try to
manipulate any developers into working on those problems.

(with regards to the lost bug reports: again, all I can do is to
organize people willing to work on bugs.  If we have so few volunteers
offering to help organize bugs that we can't process all bug reports,
then we'll obviously lose bug reports.  *shrug* )

Thanks for the guess... but I *do* have it in only one part (by creating a 
separate, score-specific variable, and then -ing it in only with the violin 
staff).

I've got it working now, though I don't really know how: I've changed a bunch 
of properties/settings in a bunch of different files (which is likely to MAO up 
my other scores).
I'll do a post-mortem on this in the next few days -- right now, I've got to

Hi Neil,

 Wait... one HAS to use \pageBreak if you set minimal-breaking?
 According to the texidocs for the minimal-breaking regression tests, yes.

According to Notation,
The ly:minimal-breaking function performs minimal computations to calculate 
the page breaking: it fills a page with as many systems as possible before 
moving to the next one.

1. No mention of \pageBreak (which is introduced in the next section) being 
required.
2. This description is clearly false, at least in the case of my score: it was 
saving 4 systems for the last page, where it looked just fine with 2 (and the 
other two on previous pages).

 It doesn't seem to offer anything useful over inserting manual breaks
 while forbidding automatic breaking, but I'm sure there's more to it than 
 this.

Probably -- I'll look into it during my post-mortem.
At the very least, it should do what it says in Notation. [Or Notation should 
be rewritten.]

Hi, Kieren,

I assume you already defined page-count = #5?  There's a known issue (at 
least it's been on the mailing lists, no clue whether it's in the bug 
tracker and/or some known issues section in the docs) as follows:
If page-count is defined in the 2.13 series (at least the earlier

score; thus, you have to either set page-count = #1 (sic!) and use 
manual page breaks, or use \override NonMusicalPaperColumn 
#'page-break-permission = ##f and omit the page-count definition.


By the way, I have no clue whether the same holds for system-count and 
'line-break-permission. IMHO, this could also be show stopper for 2.14...

Hi Graham,

 1) I see no indication that it was ever added to the issue
 tracker; hence my no KNOWN bugs still qualifies.  And I don't
 think that we've ever claimed that we'd acknowledge bugs sent to
 the user list.
 
 No, the fact that the bug discussion was between two main
 developers does not mean that the bug is known.

OK... I guess I'm just surprised that Joe didn't submit it, since it's his 
code, he personally confirmed/acknowledged the bug, and he appears to be a 
pretty conscientious dev.

 Ok, I'll release 2.13.23 fairly soon, so that the updated bug guildelines are

Hmm, are you sure this bug still exists?  I've just tested Reinhold's
snippet from that thread, and it works fine in 2.13.23.

Looking at the code, the method which fills in the penalty details,
Page_breaking::blank_page_penalty (), is only used by the
page-turn-breaking code (so it can't affect any other page-breaking

Hi Neil,

 Aha, found the fix:
 http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=lilypond.git;a=commit;h=337f9c142a82cc9e844ea3ce4beacfc4c24d5993
 (precedes 2.13.11)
 
 Looks like Joe was pretty conscientious here. ;)

I knew my faith wasn't misplaced.  =)

Thanks,
Kieren.

Graham,

 Since none of those are in the tracker as a Critical issue, none
 of them are show-stoppers for 2.14.

May I say that
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=884
being labelled as medium causes me to wonder about the whole bug prioritizing 
system. Is there some logic to what makes something critical?

Cheers,
Kieren.

A regression.  If 884 created good output in 2.12, then by all
means point this out and it'll be re-categorized.

Note that even truly embarrassing mistakes are not Critical --
those are High.  I wouldn't call 884 truly embarrassing, though.
At least, not in comparison to various other longstanding bugs.
(are you starting to understand why I'm so short-tempered when
people talk about grand new features and the like?)

Cheers,

But undocumented output suffixes is?

Because you're not short-tempered when people talk about anything else?  ;-p

Cheers,
Kieren.
