I'm trying to lay out a fairly simple score to "Oh Susanna" for a friend,
and have received the following utterly unhelpful output from the
interpreter. The resulting PDF includes the first section of the song
(which is entered as a discrete block), correctly-engraved. Then it has a
blank measure, then it stops.
The relevent line of the output seems to be : "programming error: Moment is
not increasing." I don't even know what a moment is or why it's supposed to
increase!
Can somebody help me to understand what's going on here?
Thanks,
Andy
