Re: Multiple Rehearsal Marks

[Will Oram]

Hmmm, that's odd. When I tried the suggestion below, lily 2.7.5  
processed for a moment, stopped quietly (no errors/warnings), and  
brought up the PDF from the last successful build.

Let's go through the process. The following is the minimum code that  
makes lily stop (although I kept it in book form). Note the \with in  
the first violin, aiming for \mark to appear above the designated  
staff:

\version "2.7.5"

\include "english.ly"

\paper {
        systemSeparatorMarkup = \slashSeparator
        raggedbottom = ##f
        raggedlastbottom = ##f
}

music = \relative c'{
  c4 d e f \mark \default |
  g f e d \mark \default |
  c1 |
}

\book {
        \score {
            \simultaneous {
                                \new Staff <<
					\set Staff.instrument = \markup { \center-align { \line {2  
Flutes}}}
                                        \set Staff.instr = \markup { "Fl." }
                                        \partcombine
                                                        \relative d' { \music }
                                                        \relative d' { \music }
                                >>
                                
                                \new Staff <<
                                                \set Staff.instrument = \markup 
{ \center-align {\line {Oboe}}}
                                                \set Staff.instr = \markup {Ob}
                                                \new Voice \relative d' { 
\music }
                                        >>
                        
                        \new StaffGroup <<
                                \new GrandStaff <<
                                        \new Staff \with { \consists "Mark_engraver" 
} <<
						\set GrandStaff.instrument = \markup { \center-align {\line  
{Violins}}}
                                                \set GrandStaff.instr = #"Vln."
                                                \new Voice \relative d' { 
\music }
                                        >>
                                        
                                        \new Staff <<
                                                \new Voice \relative d' { \music } 
>>
                                >>
                        >>
                }
        
            \layout {
                \context { \RemoveEmptyStaffContext }
                \context { \GrandStaff \consists "Instrument_name_engraver" }
	    	\context { \Score \override InstrumentName #'space-alist =  
#'((left-edge . (extra-space . 3.0))) }
            }
        }
}

%%% END

Now, typeset it. The binary output just stops quietly, providing no  
useful exit info:

Running it through lilypond.sh under verbose mode personally tells me  
nothing, though it might be more meaningful to others. It quit so fast,  
it didn't even grace me with a newline for shell input!:

What you see next varies. If this is your first time building this  
file, you probably will get nothing. For me, it brought up the PDF from  
the last successful run, before I stuck the \with ... in.

This is probably more meant for bug-lilypond, but this thread started  
here, so it's your discretion.

All the best,
Will
