Hi Tom,

Could you also CC: the lilypond-user list in your replies?  The
mailing list is archived, so this will benefit future users.  Thanks.

I compiled your file in 2.11.56, and there is no collision.  Very nice
piece, I might add.

I have a feeling Ubuntu won't consider updated their LilyPond package
(like a lot of other distros) until a new stable version is released.
Since the 2.12 release will likely happen before October, there's a
chance 2.12 might make it in the 8.10 Ibex repo.

Regards,
Patrick
