Hi Kieren & Carl;
Well, since you have already provided an MWE that shows it works as
documented, may I provide my full Lilypond code? It is only a halfway
completed Piano arrangement of "The Elephant" from the ""Carnival of
the Animals", by Saint-Saens. It is not long and it is simple.
Perhaps I'm doing something really stupid...
Thanks,
Ken
