Re: vertical alignment (possible error!)

[Suzanne E. Blatt]

Hello again.  I have tried the code suggested to me and I present both the 
original code plus the error message below.  I am running Lilypond 1.4.10 on 
Linux SUSE 8.0 with KDE 3.0.  Anyhow ...

\score {
 \note { a4 a a a \break a a a a }
  \paper {
   \translator { 
    \StaffContext minimumVerticalExtent=#'(-4 . 4)
    }
   }
  GNU LilyPond 1.4.10
Now processing: `/home/sblatt/Music/translator_2.ly'
Parsing...
/home/sblatt/Music/translator_2.ly:2:6: error: parse error, unexpected 
SCM_IDENTIFIER:
 \note
       { a4 a a a \break a a a a }


/home/sblatt/Music/translator_2.ly:2:32: warning: Braces don't match:
 \note { a4 a a a \break a a a a
                                 }
error: lilypond: command exited with value 256
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/ly2dvi", line 834, in ?

    system ('lilypond %s %s ' % (opts, fs))
  File "/usr/bin/ly2dvi", line 234, in system
    error (msg)
  File "/usr/bin/ly2dvi", line 132, in error
    raise _ ("Exiting ... ")
Exiting ...


After counting the braces, I tried adding a third one to close off the \score 
and got the following:

\score {
 \note { a4 a a a \break a a a a }
  \paper {
   \translator { 
    \StaffContext minimumVerticalExtent=#'(-4 . 4)
    }
   }
  }
  
 I attempted the above and got the following: 
   GNU LilyPond 1.4.10

Any and all help would be MOST appreciated!

ps.  If this mailer is still giving 'html' _please_ let me know.  I tested it 
before sending this email and it indicated that this was 'plain text'.
