The following code produces what looks to me as an an unanticipated result as the second two marcato marks are slightly elevated. I fixed it with a Script.extra-offset but still wonder if this is some odd edge case. \version "2.18.2" \new Staff \relative c' { \tuplet 6/4 { 8 ^^ [8 ^^

Hi Andrew and Karlin - I'm using the default editor which is included in the MacOS build of lilypond. I'm not using Frescobaldi. And yes, I've checked that I'm using preview mode. The links are there. I can see them when I mouse over, and they work in Acrobat. I've looked through all the options

Indeed, Karlin, you are perfectly right - thanks for the observation! This is definitely not a Windows problem, it's an unwanted side effect of using negative string distances: The total width (5 times the string distance on a 6 string instrument) has to be increased by the half the line
