I know how to produce a minimal example. I had been removing code and hadn't
seen results yet and going back to 2.17.13 immediately solved the problem. I
have done exactly that with other music with some other recent versions.
I was wondering if some kind of trace might provide someone with a clue.
I have several parts to finish tonight which I am doing quite successfully
with 2.17.13.
I will give it another try when I can.

I appreciate that possibility. I have said the same thing to a number
of programming classes I have taught including the assembly language
class I was teaching tonight.
Thanks and thanks for all the work you all do on this magnificent project.
I'll be back.
