Re: Polymetric music and page breaks

[Andrea La Rose]

Phil,

Thanks for responding. Do keep in mind that this is only an excerpt of a 40
minute piece. I excerpted enough so that the problem would be apparent. So I
realize that everything in the excerpt is unequal and therefore confusing.
There is about 10-minutes-worth of this kind of polymetry, so nothing is
breaking in the way Lilypond would like it to; the bar lines do not line up
for ages. My question is: Is there a work-around?

cheers,
Andrea
