Dag Hans,

I also asked on the GitHub forum of arranger.ly. Raphael Hardy checked and has 
found the same behavior on newer lily pond versions. Some upgrade is needed 
there.

Regards, Eef

Dear list, dear Gilles,

Working with arrranger.ly I want to insert notes at a specific place.
The manual says:

"- A position is denoted by a bar number. What if the position should not begin 
at the start of

a measure? In such a case, the position is a list of integers:

'(n i j k …)

where n is the bar number, and i j k … are powers of two (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, etc…) 
denoting the

distance from the beginning of the n-th bar.3

“

But I cannot get that to work correctly.
The code below shows the current c1 in bar 13
(So rm seems to use the count of 4 per bar. The 3/4 setting does not influence 
that.
What am I doing wrong???

My guess would be you missed the first of the two prerequisites mentioned in 
the docs:
---

Two prerequisites to using the functions

1. Have all meter changes in a \global variable, e.g.:

global = { \time 4/4 s1*2 \time 5/8 s8*5*2 \time 3/4 s2.*2 }

This enables arranger.ly to convert all measure numbers to LilyPond moments.

---

No computer at hand to test, but my gut feel tells me when you move the 3/4 
time sig to your global it starts working as you expect

Never mind, that would not be it, I spotted you (try to) use the strategy of 
addendum I in the docs, must be something else interfering there.
