Hi all,

Could someone please take a look at the latest scheme code in this thread and figure out how we can use this frame engraver construct on multiple staffs in the same score simultaneously? It's pretty important for preceding in my work, and I can't figure out how to get it working.

thank you,
Jeff

Nope, I get the same error...  Argh!  I'm not sure why this is
happening.  As soon as I get some time, I'll need to go over the
engraver with a fine-toothed comb.  I know how to approach the issue
of the broken extender line, but I want to make sure I'm working from
a sound base first.
