Questions - Modern Chant Notation

Hi All, I've be working on converting a Gregorian chant from 4-line notation to 5-line modern notation for service use, and I've stumbled across two problems: 1.  Lilypond does not seem to be able to determine line length any more (line 2 of pdf).  I have to insert a \bar "" to keep it from runni

I have been experimenting with gregorian.ly using a fairly long chant.  It does a lovely job, but it only includes the clef on the first line of an 11-line chant, which I find very disorienting when playing. I have been searching for days, but have not been able to figure out how to do the foll

Hi all - I'm currently using Lilypond 2.22.1 to set some handbell music, and I'm encountering a problem with measure numbering. I need all measures numbered in this score - for some reason, the first measure number in each line is being printed twice: Working file is attached. Thanks much! Kare
