Problem with barcheck

2011-01-29 Thread Martin Chicoine 
The following example gives me barcheck errors. Could someone explain why?

%%%
\version 2.12.3

\header {
title =  
}

staffViolon = \new Staff {
\time 6/8
\set Staff.instrumentName = Violon
\set Staff.midiInstrument = violin
\key g \major
\clef treble
\relative c' { 
  b'4 d,8 ~ \times 2/3 {d8 g a } |
  \times 2/3 {b8 d c} \times 2/3 {b a g} |
}

}

\score {

\staffViolon


\midi {
}

\layout {
}
}

Do you mean this?

\time 6/8
b'4 d,8~ d8 g a |
b8 d c b a g |

or this?

\time 2/4
\times 2/3 {b'4 d,8~} \times 2/3 {d8 g a} |
\times 2/3 {b8 d c} \times 2/3 {b a g} |

As Jay pointed out,  \times 2/3 {d8 g a } will occupy the time of two
eighth-notes, not three.  Hence the barcheck fails because there is an
eighth-note's worth of time remaining in your first measure (and 2
1/8's missing in the second.)

Cheers,
Mike

Or you need to use

\times 3/3 {d8 g a } instead of \times 2/3 - your bar checks seem to be
quite explicit.

However this makes no sense in 6/8 - it's musical tautology!

:)

Are you copying from a real score or just making something up yourself?
