Hi, don't know if that's the one you already caught. This segfaults on my machine: \version "2.11.2" \score { << \new Staff { \relative c' { \acciaccatura d16 s16 } } >> } It doesn't segfault if the skip is changed into a note.

Hi, I tried the uniform-stretching property but couldn't get it to work as expected. If I understand this property correctly, it should stretch out bars according to their time-signature regardless of skips or rests within. This fails (e.g. the first measure should be much wider than the second,
