Re: Line break and page fit do not work

[grisu_76]

I found the source of the problem: It wasn't the measure length, it was a
problem with forced beams:

I wrote: 

g4 [ < g h,>8 < g h,>8] g4 [ < g h,>8 < g h,>8] 

in a 4/4 instead of:

c4 < g h,>8 [ < g h,>8]  g4 < g h,>8 [ < g h,>8]


But this syntax error occurred several measures before the measure I
suspected to cause the problem.

Nevertheless, I learned much about trouble-shooting!

Regards, Christian
