Dear List,
When upgrading from 2.8.6 to 2.10.0 one of my files was producing this strange
error message:
Preprocessing graphical objects...
/Users/arjanbos/Music/Gitaarles/Boek-2/MusicForTheMartians.ly:12:28: Music for
the martians
e8_1 e_2 e_3 f_4 f_5 f
_6 |
What is music for the martians? The purpose of the file is to help beginning
classical guitar players to understand a 6/8 beat. The numbers are there to
indicate the counting. The solution I found is to simply put the f_6 as f_"6".
But what are martians and why are they playing my music? Shouldn't this message
simply state that a 6 is a strange number to indicate a finger with? But I know
that already, and obviously I want the 6 to be in, otherwise it wouldn't be in.
So clearly it is not meant to indicate a finger, so I feel that the message can
safely be removed from Lilypond. ;-)
The smallest file I found to reproduce it is
\version "2.10.0"
\score {
\context Staff = guitar {
\key c \major \time 6/8
\relative c'' {
e8_1 e_2 e_3 f_4 f_5 f_6 |
}
}
}

Look, that's why there's rules, understand? So that you think before you break
'em.
