New feature with ragged-last-bottom = ##f?

Version 2.9.18 Windows: When I set ragged-last-bottom = ##f \break commands are ingnored, less bar per line are used resulting in more lines and a more even appearance. Is this a new feature? I did not find it in the "NEWS" section of the doc. I looks good but it should be possible to turn it

Hello, Thanks for replying. Why do you use the texstr backend? As far as I know, it's just an old left over from some experiment that never was finished and it's certainly unsupported. Probably because it says so in the documentation and it's not mencioned that it is an unsupported experiment

Re: Problem with non-ASCII characters

I noted that text in the manual after sending the previous response, but my comment is actually relevant for the tex backend as well, so we should remove that misleading information from the manual. My guess is that you didn't manage to save your file in UTF8 encoding, but it could also be that y

Re: Problem with non-ASCII characters

Bingo! $ file test.ly test.ly: ISO-8859 English text After setting M-x prefer-coding-system (in Emacs) to utf-8, everything was fine. So, after all, in spite of the misleading sentences in the docs, if the editor is correctly set for UTF-8, it works great. Thanks again, Ari Constancio On 9/21

RE: Problem with \markup { \score } quitting after first measure

You led me onto something Trent so think I found a fix for this, and no longer consider it a bug. When I also add "system-count = 1" to the markup score then it works fine. It seems that if your are using system-count at all in your main score then you MUST ALSO specify a system-count on any \ma

Re: Avoiding collisions between voices?

Just replace your \stemUp \shiftRight with \voiceThree. Actually, I think the result looks even better if you use \voiceTwo instead, but you probably have a good reason to let the stems point up. Read also about \shiftOn, \shiftOnn, \shiftOnnn and \shiftOff in the manual. The difference between \v

Re: Preventing page breaks

Also make sure you are aware of the system-count property available. Generally I set the between-system-padding to 1 (to negate it) then just adjust the between-system-space and system-count parameters until the music is nicely flowed down the whole page. (between-system-padding comes into play
