RE: how to engrave arrow over notehead?

Bodo -

Don't know why it doesn't work for you.

Maybe if you post the error message file, someone will help.

Hi Bruce,

Thanks for this. Unfortunately it doesn't generate a .pdf for me. I'm
running lilypond 2.7.3 on windows. I also tried the cygwin version, but that
is too old to run this file. Any suggestions?

Cheers,
 Bodo
