Hi James,
that was quick. Well I'm using Windows 10 version 1607. I attached a the
snippet you provided (ok almost the same despite I haven't version
2.19.56) created with 2.19.25
As you can see the "ff" does not look like a real ligature. I tried the
same with 2.19.55 (latest version I have access too) and the result
looks like
where "ff" looks like a ligature.
So in fact lilypond improved and is working as expected but together
with pdflatex (latest MikTeX) it creates the problem.
Sorry for making lilypond guilty. Once i find the real problem I'll let
you know.
kind regards,
Fritz
