Re: Problem with multiple melody lines

2007-11-28 Thread Mats Bengtsson
The problem is not the triplet in itself but that fact that you use shorter note values in the voice you want to change back to. Of course, the root of the problem is the silly fact that you have to issue the command to switch the associated voice one syllable too early. The next matching note

chord accidental placement when tied

2007-11-28 Thread Neil Thornock
Hello all, I've looked for this issue but I can't find it anywhere. As displayed in the following snippet, the E-flat on the chord that ties over the barline is much too far to the left, as if the B-flat above it is pushing it over. This does not happen with a B-natural, and it only happens

SOLVED: going backwards in time

Hi Trevor, As you suspected, there WAS indeed a math error -- I checked things over yet again and found I'd entered a time signature as 4356/6319 instead of 4365/6319. (I'm doing some things algorithmically and some intuitively, hence the entering of some data by hand). I feel considerably

Hi Adam, I'd entered a time signature as 4356/6319 [...] I feel pretty confident now that I can inflict my sickest notation and not have to worry about Lily breaking. Oh, come on... 4356/6319 is your sickest notation? Wussy. ;-) Cheers, Kieren.
