Interpreter Reports: "Programming Error: Moment Not Increasting"


From: Andy Cowan
Subject: Interpreter Reports: "Programming Error: Moment Not Increasting"
Date: Sun, 5 Aug 2007 09:27:17 -0400

I'm trying to lay out a fairly simple score to "Oh Susanna" for a friend, and have received the following utterly unhelpful output from the interpreter.  The resulting PDF includes the first section of the song (which is entered as a discrete block), correctly-engraved.  Then it has a blank measure, then it stops.

The relevent line of the output seems to be : "programming error: Moment is not increasing."  I don't even know what a moment is or why it's supposed to increase!

Can somebody help me to understand what's going on here?

Thanks,

Andy
