I am seeing some behavior I don’t understand. I have ended the music for “Silver Bells” into lilypond, and I am seeing a puzzling error.
The song is in 3/4 time, but the rest in measure 33 seems to betaking 4 beats - I get a bar check failed and there are one two rests in measure 34, and an extra measure is inserted at the end. What am I doing wrong? The offending r1 is on the 3rd line of the first branch of the alternative below - and if I change that r1 to “r4 r4 r4”, or to “r2.”, the issue goes away. \version "2.18.2" \include "predefined-guitar-fretboards.ly" \language "english" \header { title = "Silver Bells" composer = \markup \column \center-align { "Music and Words by" "JAY LIVINGSTON and" "RAY EVANS" } arranger = "" poet = "" } \paper { #(set-paper-size "letter") } global = { \autoBeamOff \numericTimeSignature \time 3/4 \key bf \major \tempo "Moderately and Tenderly" } melody = \relative c' { \global \partial 4 { g'8 bf8 } \repeat volta 2 { f4 d4 bf'8 g8 | f4 d4 d'8 c8 | bf4 g4 g4 | \break g2 c8 bf 8 | a4 f4 e4 | ef?4 f4. ef8 | ef4 d2~ | \break d4 r4 bf'8 g8 | f4 d4 bf'8 g8 | f4 d4 d'8 c8 | bf4 g4 g4 | \break g2 c8 bf8 | a4 f4 e4 | ef?4 f4 c'4 | bf2.~ | \break bf2. | d,8 ef8 f2~ | f2. | g8 a8 bf2~ | \break bf2. | a4 a4 bf4 | c2 bf8 a8 | bf4 f2~ | \break f2 r4 | d8 ef8 f2~ | f2. | g8 a8 bf2~ | \break bf2. | a4 a4 bf4 | c4 bf4 a4 | \break } \alternative { { bf2.~ | bf2 r4 | r1 | r4 r4 bf8 g8 | \break } { bf2.~ | bf2. | r1 | r1 \bar "|." } } \tuplet 3/2 {} } first_verse = \lyricmode { Ci -- ty side -- walks, bus -- y side -- walks dressed in hol -- i -- day style.
