FW: Measure confusion

[Kress, Stephen]

Thanks for the tip!  The music I'm working with has an extra eighth (possibly the rest) in a couple of measures.  I thought I had gotten them all.

Would it be worthwhile to have a "debugging your ly files" FAQ?  It would be nice to have documented that measure bars will disappear when you've counted wrong.

Thanks for the quick response!

Why not ask LilyPond itself to assist you in finding the problem.
Just insert a | where you expect to have a bar line (it will also
help you read your own input when working with the score), then
LilyPond will print a warning every time it finds bar that does
not end where you put the |.

However, here it shouldn't be hard to find the problem anyway, since
the b4 in bar 71 begins an 8th before the bar line.
