New issue 1996 by address@hidden: Bar check inside a slur causes  
fatal error
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1996

Putting a bar check inside a slur causes a fatal error. the followiong code:

\version "2.15.16"

\relative c' {
  c4 c c c  |  (a) c c c
}

gives this:
/tmp/frescobaldi-gs9BEy/tmp4Jxaqd/document.ly:4:15: error: syntax error,  
unexpected '('
  c4 c c c  |
               (a) c c c
/tmp/frescobaldi-gs9BEy/tmp4Jxaqd/document.ly:3:0: error: errors found,  
ignoring music expression

\relative c' {
fatal error: failed files: "/tmp/frescobaldi-gs9BEy/tmp4Jxaqd/document.ly"
Exited with return code 1.


Taking out the bar check allows the code to compile, and ties, between same  
pitches, are allowed across a bar check.  This doesn't seem to have worked  
in 2.12.3 either, so I don't know if it's a regression. If there isn't a  
simple code fix, this could also be the subject of a Known Issue.
