I found much the same problem with the setting of the Andante from BWV 1003 that I recently downloaded from the Mutopia web site. In bar 7 the output incorrectly had 8th notes joined with 16th notes on the same stem, and when building the file, the Lilypond console output gaves the warning

But if you remove all instances of ' and , then you're assuming that all notes are less than a fifth away from the preceding note - most unlikely. Nick -Original Message- From: lilypond-user-bounces+nick.payne=internode.on@gnu.org

Here are the functions I use for a string number indication with a text spanner. One for up, one for down. I suppose it could be simplified to one function by passing in an extra parameter to indicate UP or DOWN. % usage e.g.: % \stringUp 2 #0 #'(0 . -0.5) #5 #1 % g\startTextSpan c bf'-
