I think the problem is a misprint of yours. When you say d,s you probably mean ds, The d,s is interpreted as a d, followed by a spacing note, that's why you get en extra (invisible) eight note in that bar.
In general, I recommend to always insert a '|' in the input file where you expect to find a bar line. This bar check will be used in Lilypond to generate a warning as soon as a bar doesn't match the meter. At least I make so many typing mistakes that this is an invaluable help to quickly spot the mistakes. I know some other people on the list think it's a waste of typing, though. /Mats > Hi, > > I've recently started to use lilypond and I think that I've run into a > bug. > > I'm running the cygwin build of lilypond 1.6.4. > > The attached 2 files are a segement of the bass line for a piece that > I'm writing.
