1. For the initiated this is a simple question but I have Been away from Lilypond for some time. Now when I compile a simple piece of music the control of note range seems to have disappeared. And I get increasing or decreasing octaves - see example. Previously the program remembered where the last note was and chose to keep within a range of 5 positions on the stave - otherwise I had to specify going outwith this range using a comma or ' . Can you explain? 2. I cannot remember how to save my music in PDF format. Previously saving the .ly file also saved a PDF copy.
All very elementary questions but I hope someone has time to answer. P.S. On the plus side I am very happy to se that the export and import of XML music files works much better now.
