And is that why the second alternative isn't printing right in the
attached file?
When I run ly2dvi on the attached file, I get the message:
Preprocessing elements...
Calculating column positions... programming error: Negative dist, setting to 1.0 PT
(Continuing; cross thumbs)
programming error: Negative dist, setting to 1.0 PT (Continuing; cross thumbs)
programming error: Insane spring found. Setting to unit spring. (Continuing; cross
thumbs)
The output looks ok, except that the 2 and the line don't print over
the second alternative.
