Re: Why can't I get this to work (viola tuning)

[Mats Bengtsson]

That's a bug, which unfortunately seems to survive also in the latest
stable version. According to 
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=349
this bug was fixed in version 2.10.25, but it's clearly present in 2.10.29.

In the latest development version, 2.11.32,  on the other hand, both 
your example
and the example in the bug report work without problems.
