They aren't super common and can often be avoided by using a different enharmonic spelling, but sometimes they can't be avoided and require this. LilyPond doesn't handle this situation natively (yet) and it requires a nice workaround, such as the one Harm presented. > Also, I see you used the latest unstable version of Lilypond, did that > make much of a difference? > Not really. The line items are pretty standard things, most of which have been supported for a long time now. I don't suspect 2.18.2 to score much differently than 2.19.82, except for only a few items like supporting alternate music fonts, which was introduced in 2.19.12. Best, Abraham
