Actually, several of the examples in the tutorial are
one octave off (or rather, the example don't show all the
details necessary to get the octave they are printed in).
One reason is to not introduce too much complexity at a time.
If you go on to the next section, Octave Entry, you'll learn
how to get the correct octave in this particular example.
If you view the tutorial on-line, you could also click on
the printed score to see exactly the Lilypond source code
used to produce it (which is not exactly the same as is
printed a few lines above).

I'm not sure about the best strategy in a tutorial, to show
all details in the example even if it hasn't been explained
so far or to hide some complexity in order to bring out the
main points.

By the way, the octaviation of the e is a misprint that has
already been fixed in the CVS repository some month ago.

The result from debian package lilypond-2.1.0-2 is:

The viewed output (in acroread) shows *all* notes *except* the E natural at the end of bar 2 to be *one octave* too low.

This seems like a bug... Is there a detour?

Thanks for all your work on lilypond.

Simon Dalley

PS: The reason I am using 2.1.0 is beause no Debian package of any stable version since 1.4 is available on the Debian mirrors.
