parallelMusic and repeat

2009-12-07 Thread Federico Bruni
I'm trying to use \parallelMusic to write polyphonic pieces. Unfortunately, I can't use \repeat and \alternative, otherwise everything breaks up. In fact, it interprets each line as a new measure, it can't see the voices anymore. I wonder if it's a bug or if I'm doing something wrong.. (I attach

first bar width

I'm writing a blank sheet to be used for hand writing (see attached file). The problem is that the first bar of each line is too large compared with the other bars. I guess this is due to a default padding value of some property.. I don't know which.. Any hint? I've searched in the archives but
