Hi,

This is my first time writing on the list. I have using lilypond for a few months, and I find in the list archive a function written by David Nalesnik that is exactly what I need for my score. It compiles ok on Lilypond 2.18.2, but I am using 2.19.53 for my score and I am getting this warnings:

Starting lilypond 2.19.53 [frameEngraver-boxes-and-repeats-example.ly]...

My code skills aren't enough to fix it. Can someone help me?

I am attaching the .ily file, I hope the author will be ok with.

Thanks in advance!!!

Hi James,

Here’s a tidbit I filed away the last time frameEngraver was discussed:

"

...should mention that this needs 2.18.x  There is a single change which you need for current development versions.  See the last line below:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% ADD NEW GROB DEFINITIONS %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

#(define (add-grob-definition grob-name grob-entry)

   (let* ((meta-entry   (assoc-get 'meta grob-entry))

          (class        (assoc-get 'class meta-entry))

          (ifaces-entry (assoc-get 'interfaces meta-entry)))

     (set-object-property! grob-name 'translation-type? ly:grob-properties?) ;; NB!!

“

I think this was Nalesnik speaking. I don’t know enough to say that this will fix the problem, but I hope it helps. I've used frameEngraver extensively, so I want to see it continue to function!

Best,

Holland
