Saving it was "1." in the list. The list also contains "2." and "3.". The list is not a list of alternatives but is rather a _sequence_ of steps to perform. Have you tried following up step "1." with steps "2." and "3."? If you did, how did you fare with those? -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
