FW: Acciaccaturas and global barlines

[Alex Voice]

Sorry – just found (stumbled over) a cure in the documentation: inserting a space in the \global fixes it. Wonderful!

global = 

{  s1  \bar "||"  \acciacciatura s8   s1  }

Many thanks,

Alex

Subject: Acciaccaturas and global barlines

Hi, Lilypond Experts.

I have a problem combining an acciaccatura at the start of a bar with global settings for special bar lines.

The following code places the acciaccatura before the double bar and creates another spurious bar before both of them:

\version "2.16.1"

global = 

{  s1  \bar "||"  \acciacciatura s8   s1  }

music =

{  R1  \acciacciatura c''8  c''1 }

\score

{

\new Staff 

<< 

\global

\music

>>

} 

If one puts the double bar into the \music explicitly (rather than in \global), it works perfectly fine, but I rather need to use global settings for this large orchestral piece, of which this is just a short excerpt from one stave.

Could you suggest either what I may be doing wrong or what way there might be to work around it.

Many thanks as always,

Alex Voice
