Re: A spacing problem

[Robert Blackstone]

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for your comment and advice.

Am I using barchecks on every bar? Yes, I do.  Every bar in my score ends with 
| followed by the bar-number . (For example : g’1 |%P1V1-5) 

BTW, I use TeXShop for my input and I am very happy with it. For several 
reasons I never liked Frescobaldi. TeXShop  accepts my little tricks and It is 
more forgiving than Frescobaldi. As an example, the present “problem-score” is 
compiled by TeXShop in a few seconds. Frescobaldi does not compile it at all 
for some error that I don’t understand and which TeXShop ignores. 

In the present case the console in TeXShop gives a lot of warnings about 
missing barchecks but these warnings exclusively concern the lyrics. They don’t 
affect the compilation of the score.
When I comment out the Lyrics Voice in the score the problem is still there, in 
one bar only (I could solve the three others by adding and/or displacing line 
breaks.)  

Anyway, thanks again for your interest in my problem.

Best regards,
Robert Blackstone
