Re: Using \global - Lilypond 2.9.20 Windows

[Trent Johnston]

Hi Mats,

I sent the message as this was the first time these warning signs appeared. 
I've got global statements in all my scores and this is first time these 
errors appeared.

I flaged it because others might think something is wrong with their 
scores.. I started removing some of the statements and other bits in my 
globel files before I realised what was going on... others may do the same 
before they realise the error is harmless.

Trent

|I actually find the warning message relevant. Consider the following
| example:
| \score{
| <<
|  \new Staff{ \mark "Mark in first stave" c'1}
|  \new Staff{ \mark "Mark in second stave" e'1}
| >>
| }
| Clearly, LilyPond will only typeset one  of these marks, but it's not
| really
| well-defined which one and the program should definitely tell that that 
the
| user probably has made a mistake and the program had to make a decision
| on which mark to typeset.
|
| In your case, you know why the warning appears and you know that you can
| ignore it, since you only have \mark commands in your \global. If you
| want to
| get rid of the warnings, you could add the \mark commands in a separate
| variable
| that's only included at the top stave of the score, or you could use the
| \tag feature
| to do the same thing.
