Hi Bruce,

your previous mssage was not distributed on the list, it can't be
found in the archives either.
Maybe the attachment was too large, so nobody can test.

That said, 2.16.0 is an ancient version you will not get much support.
According to
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2016-11/msg00564.html
the problem may be fixed since 2.19.48.
So I recommend to use an up to date version.
Most recent is 2.19.81


Cheers,
