Strange I can consistently reproduce it (just pulled the latest and
recompiled): Ubuntu 11.10, gcc 4.6.1.

Again odd. I put a printf (followed by a flush) and it is printed.

This may be right. I haven't filled in the dynamics yet (so it's still
empty), but adding spacer rests over the whole piece makes the
segfault and the added print go away. This is at least a better
solution than removing the engraver.

(I played around with this idea (empty dynamics) attempting to make a
small example without any luck though.)

Thank's for taking a look.
