Neil (or anyone else who knows)Here's my first question. It concerns the 'layer property. I'd assumed all objects were placed in layer 0 by default, and objects which were processed first were overwritten by objects processed later. To check this I tried colouring bar lines white, and indeed found that they overwrote the staff lines unless I set the StaffSymbol layer to 1. So far so good. I placed this example in my local copy of the NR to demonstrate the overwriting:
@lilypond[quote,verbatim,relative=2] a1 a \once \override Score.BarLine #'color = #white a a @end lilypondbut then found that the staff lines in the NR are not reliably overwritten - sometimes they are, sometimes they are not. I can't see any pattern in this. So far the overwriting is always as expected if I compile this example separately to a pdf. Any ideas? Or are my initial assumptions not correct?

2008/7/28 Trevor Daniels <address@hidden>:Neil, are you willing to help when I have questions about how things work? I can and have looked at source code to try to find answers, but sometimes (well, actually, usually) it's too opaque to help much. Docs that are wrong are worse than no docs, and sometimes I have doubts that what I am writing is correct.Of course, Trevor; I'm happy to be of assistance if there's anything you're unsure about. Regards, Neil
