On MS windows the above initially unzipped and ran somehow; 
subsequently, i can't find the executable to launch it.

I ran the 1.2.4 binary on linux; seems to run OK.

Newly discovered problem: when there is a chord in the middle of a 
measure, the subsequent chords get misaligned

Chords positioned on the first note of a measure are aligned correctly, 
but positioning a chord mid-measure messes things up.

Attaching a PNG where  my "f1:/g" chord is in the middle of the first 
measure, and the Dm chord is attached to the first note of the second 
measure (F), but in the render window the Dm chord is bumped down, 
across the 2nd-3rd bar boundary.  If I remove the mid-measure chord, the 
Dm chord is rendered correctly, above the first note of the second measure.

(Should I start a new thread?)
