I am getting better at putting the code in (is that what you call entering the notation?), and I am getting good results most of the time, however, I have come unstuck today. I have checked and rechecked what I have put into my notepad file, but the music that is generated doesn't match it. I am going to attach it, and highlight the bars that are causing problems if someone could have a look at it and tell me what I can do to fix it, I'd be most grateful, Mel

** At the point of the bold print, I am getting a g mimum, then a g semibreve, which instead of taking up two beats of the bar is given a whole bar - it is printed as a semibreve, but not treated as one if that makes sense. That particular pattern is repeated a few times in the music, and I was having problems with it, and although it seemed right didn't work, so I ditched that, and entered it all again, the other places where the pattern appears are now correct, but this last one isn't, its driving me up the wall.

I believe it was suggested that you use the vertical bar '|' to check your bar boundaries. That might have helped here.

The a'3 (probably a typo) before the g'1 should give an error message since all duration values must be powers of two. It throws LIlypond off and Lily just does what it can to recover.

HTH,
