Re: \alternative Not Working

[Will Oram]

I got it to work. \alternative seems to be in conflict with my notes 
block dedicated to spacing bars (s1*x \break, etc). If I comment out 
\spacing, then the alternative boxes appear as they should. This 
explains why, by itself, the code I sent works on your machine and 
mine.
