Re: Beginning a piece with tuplets with a grace note or appoggiatura

[Trent Johnston]

Thanks Mats..

I had a look but following the example this doesn't seem to produce anything
except the  12/8 time signature.

In fact changing the compress music doesn't seem to have any effect at all.
The example from the manual seems to work.. so I can't see what's wrong in
the example below...

Windows XP
Lilypond 2.7.10
