Hi,
This is probably more of a limitation than a bug, but should at least be
documented. If you try to quote a voice that itself contains quoted
material, the nested quote fails (without any warning message).
Here's a reasonably minimal example.
\version "2.23.3"
A = \fixed c' {c4 d e f | g f e d | c1 }
\addQuote "A" {\A }
B = \fixed c' {\quoteDuring "A" s1 | g1 | \quoteDuring "A" s1 }
\addQuote "B" {\B}
% The first measure that attempts to quote quoted material is empty:
C = \fixed c' {\quoteDuring "B" s1*2 | e1 }
\score{
<<
\new Staff \A
\new Staff \B
\new Staff \C
>>
}
I propose to add a sentence under Known issues and warnings in
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.23/Documentation/notation/writing-parts#quoting-other-voices,
saying,
"Quoting music that itself contains quoted sections does not work."
I would also be happy if the possibility to do nested quotes could be
recorded as a feature request. I just typeset a concerto grosso, where I
in the ripieni string parts quoted sections from the solo string parts
and where the woodwind parts were almost identical to the ripieni string
parts and i hence tried to quote these, which resulted in mostly empty
music, to my great surprise and disappointment. Apart from such use
cases, I would expect that it could a more common problem when adding
cue notes using \cueDuring of parts that themselves contain quoted
material.
