Re: turning a blind eye to dotted note

Thank you!

I already understand THAT lilypond is checking the bar lines I set 
myself and give me a message if wrong/critical. But I do not understand 
why lilypond is setting the same wrong/critical bar line WITHOUT giving 
me a message. As lilypond obviously checks bar length, why not telling 
me a problem if a bar length (17/16 in my example) is to long?
