I've tried the test file on Linux x64 and it compiles OK (apart from
producing the same timing errors as 2.10.33 under Windows); the output
is almost identical, though I wonder whether Karim's pushing LilyPond
beyond its limitations with the nested \times sections and scaled
durations. I'd imagine there's some pretty hairy maths going on there.

In any case, neither version seems to be completely happy with the
file, since some of the notes are missing.

Neil
