Hi,
The figured bass bug I sent earlier on with version 2.9.17 remains the
same in 2.9.18.
Since I was the sponsor of this feature it would be good if it worked
how I had originally commissioned it.
Figures were able to placed above rests but in recent versions these are
now ignored. The figured is excepted (ie. lilypond doesn't complain) but
there is no figure printed in the output.
I've done some detective work and downloaded again each of the previous
lilypond versions before 2.9.18. The last lilypond version that the
figured bass work properly was 2.9.13. In version 2.9.14 the figured
bass was not working at all. I sent a message to Lilypond User about
this version which Mats then forwarded this onto Lilypond Bugs
(http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-lilypond/2006-08/msg00044.html).
Version 2.9.15 the figured bass was working again except that figures
above a rest were ignored.
I hope this helps in tracking down the bug. I have several instrumental
scores that I would like to now finish and print but can't until this
issue is solved.
Hi,
I think the problem is that due to Erik's stream changes in
2.9.something, now both Rest_engraver and Figured_bass_engraver listen
to rest-events. The old behavior of \context FiguredBass was to cancel
any running bassfigure (continuation line) when a rest was encountered.
When adding the bass figures to the Staff, rests would be caught by the
normal Rest_engraver. Now both the rest_engraver and the
figured_bass_engraver catch the rest-event. I could switch off the
'terminate continuation on rest' feature, but that would have other
compatibility repercussions.
Erik, please advise on a strategy.
