[Denemo-devel] [bug #47264] Fine attached to note creates problems

[Richard Shann]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #47264 (project denemo):

Open the View->LilyPond window. Right click and choose typeset. You will see a
(technically worded) error message appear. Scroll the top pane down until you
reach the red portion which is where LilyPond encountered an error. It starts
at

bes,--\markup \italic "fine"

which is a B-flat with markup "fine" on it. This corresponds with the
difficulty you see in the typeset. The B-flat, instead of having "fine"
printed on it has a tenuto mark. And indeed "--" is the LilyPond syntax for a
tenuto mark. The first "-" is what LilyPond calls the "direction" of the mark:
whether above or below or switching sides depending on the note being high or
low. (So LilyPond uses ^- for a tenuto above, _- for a tenuto below and -- for
a tenuto which is auto-placed.
Of course what is actually wanted here is -\markup \italic "fine"
that is the "fine" to be auto-placed. But an spurious extra - has crept in,
which LilyPond has understood as a tenuto, and then it doesn't know what to do
with the following markup.

The bug must be in Denemo that generated this - I would guess it tried to
re-calculate the "fine" marking after some operation and accidentally inserted
a second - sign. Did you do anything other than just place the "fine" on the
note?
