OK. I hadn't checked my version -- it is/was 2.14 . Somewhere between 2.14 and 2.16.1 things like "\vspace" and other syntax/commands were added... Since it's developing so fast, it might be a good idea to mention versions to a newbie. Ubuntu still has nothing newer than 2.14 in its repositories. Anyhow, I'm trying the most stable now -- 2.16.1 ; let me see how far I can get with 2.16.1 on my own. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
