Hi David, James, It was the clef, yes, thank you both.
It never even occurred to me that the default treble clef could be treated differently to a \clef treble - but I see now that the key issue was that putting '\clef treble' in the *staff* rather than the *voice* was where things went askew.

I'd never really thought about it before - I usually lean towards specifying clefs, etc. directly rather than relying on defaults. > I also tried setting the clef in your 'global' block rather than in > the score block and it also worked fine. Yep, that "solved" it for me too - only I couldn't use it on my original problem score because it has more than one staff with different clefs (nothing exciting, just SATB+piano). > I'm still inclined to think that it's part of the known issue. Well, I'm now very well aware of the grace-note-space-synchronise issue; a good thing, as the rest of this piece I'm trying to typeset has rather a lot of grace notes. :) On 02/11 09:15:34, Bailey James E. wrote: > oops, sorry, I didn't realise what was going on there, you should > move the clef change to the voice. > \score { > \new Staff << > \new Voice { > \clef treble > \acciaccatura { > \stemDown > ais8 > \stemNeutral > } > b4.-> > } > >> > } And thanks for clarifying it with code, James - that appeared to be the key issue. I'm not quite sure *why* the clef being specified in the Voice instead of the Staff can make such a difference, but I guess I'll have to reread that part of the manual and work it out. :) Pete. -- ~ ~ ~ ".signature" 4 lines, 50 characters written _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
