Re: Disappearing dynamics

[Carl Sorensen]

Have you tried changing the lilypond call in Frescobaldi to a gdb lilypond 
call, so that you can pause the execution of lilypond and give Frescobaldi time 
to do whatever it might do -- and then continue lilypond from the debugger?

Have you tried changing the Frescobaldi options for displaying the pdf to get 
to a minimal Frescobaldi run that doesn't do much but generate the pdf?

This sounds like a truly bizarre bug.

    Hi k\Kevin and All,
    
    It ranks as one of the most bizarre bugs I have ever seen (and I speak as a
    software developer of many decades). It's only with Frescobaldi. Command
    line compilation is fine. It's only dynamic markings, which is puzzling -
    whatever is going on? Running sync of course I tried, thinking the same as
    you. but to no effect. Once the dynamics appear, then they continue to
    appear.
    
    A mystery of the cosmos. Perhaps dynamic markings have become shy or
    recalcitrant. It's difficult to know how to debug this. Same behaviour in
    printing Debian 9.6 and Ubuntu 18.10.
