Re: making parts : specific number of measures per line?

[Molly Preston]

Ok I've been messing with this and I realize that where I have s1*13 at m.86 it seems to print out 15 measures instead and doesn't generate an error. It prints out 12 measures on one line at m.98.

I don't understand how it's counting?

\version "2.18.2"

layoutContent = {

\repeat unfold 11 { s1 *6 \break } %m1-66

s1* 8 \break| %m67-74

s1*11 \break | %m75-85

 s1*13 \break | %m86-97

s1* 15 \break | %m98

 } 

fluteMusic = {

  g4 r r2 | %m86

    R1* 5  | %m87-91 

    

   r2 r\fermata  | %m92

    \bar "||"

    

    \key c\major

    \time 3/4

    R2. *4 ^"Presto" | %m93-96

 

    g,2.~ \ff | %m97

}

\score {

\new Staff <<

\new Voice {

\compressFullBarRests

\fluteMusic

}

\new Voice {

\layoutContent

}

>>

}

You should research the reason for the warning.
Notes crossing a barline is only one possibility, non-breakable
glissandi another one, probably more.

\repeat unfold 20 {  s1 *6 \break }
compiles fine at its own, so there _must_ be something in fluteMusic
preventing the linebreak.
Without knowing fluteMusic nobody can say more.
