Re: variant on many syllables to one note
I'm pretty sure that adding \set melismaBusyProperties = #'() before your notes will do what you want.

Spurious Repeat Symbol
How can I get rid of the extra repeat symbol in this example? I'm sure it is caused by the rest at the beginning of the repeat. I've tried hiding an extra note along with a skip, but I can't figure out how to do this and get the rest back.

Acciaccatura Inside Arpeggio
I've been searching the archives and the LSR for hints on how to put an acciaccatura inside an arpeggio without success. I've attached a scan from a Chopin nocturne to show what I mean. Can someone show me how this is done? Ted attachment: arp-acc.PNG___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Re: Why Is This Merge Behavior Different?
Please note that I understand that it is LilyPond's intended behavior to never merge a quarter note and a half note regardless of how properties are set. I also understand why this should be the default behavior. I guess I don't understand why setting 'merge-differently-headed should not override the default behavior for quarter notes as well as flagged notes. I've attached a snippet of some old sheet music which does merge a quarter note and a half note. While in some contexts it might be ambiguous, in this case, it is not. BTW, I have figured out how to fake the behavior that I want.

With a eighth note and a half note, the little hook of the eighth note (sorry don't remember how you call that in english) lets you to understand the duration of each merged notes. There is no way to distinguish a quarter note and a half note if they are merged. It can make believe you that it is 2 half notes.

Re: Still Have convert-ly Questions/Problems.
I tried this and it works for in a DOS command prompt. It failed the same way in my bash shell - it seems to want to use the python installed for Cygwin.

Still Have convert-ly Questions/Problems.
I managed to get 'convert-ly' version 2.8.1 to run in Cygwin by doing the following: 1) I have Cygwin LilyPond 2.6.4 installed. This was installed in the default location using the 'setup' program. 2) I have Windows Lilypond 2.8.1 installed in the directory c:\nobackup\LilyPond. 3) I copied the convert-ly.py script from c:\nobackup\LilyPond\usr\bin in Windows world to /usr/bin in Cygwin world. 4) I copied c:\nobackup\LilyPond\usr\share\lilypond\current to /usr/share/lilypond/current. The script seems to run, but stops at conversion 2.7.40 and leaves the line \version 2.7.40 in the new file. (It started as 2.6.0.) Is this the expected outcome or should it have continued further?

Problems Running convert-ly
I had been using LilyPond 2.6.4-1 under cygwin. I decided to switch to 2.8.1 under Windows XP. I am trying to run convert.ly in a cygwin bash shell.
