2008-02-19 Thread Mats Bengtsson
As far as I can understand, this is a warning that the score lines might get too squeezed or to widely spaced compared to what the design rules in LilyPond would prefer. I haven't seen any case where the resulting layout looks really bad, though, so don't worry too much. /Mats hhpmusic wrote:
