I think that's not an answer to what I asked for, namely

/please reduce it to one or two notes to show the problem.../

nothing against functions in the background - but it doesn't make sense to
include functions which are not used in the incriminated code - otherwise
you could include the whole LilyPond code for each report...

Eluze

Hi, Eluze:

I cut down couple notes.  To my best I cannot cut down anymore. As David has said, I cannot cut down amore in order to show my problem.  I had coded variables (or functions) and I do use in my tiny sample. Please note line 49 and line 50 which use \xup \nup (defined in line 20 & 40 respectively).

Sorry for all the trouble I cause.

Hi, David: I cut & paste http://www.mail-archive.com/address@hidden/msg73062.html

but I got

The document you were looking for was not found.
