Re: How to count the number of notes in a .ly file?

[Jan Rosseel]

That's a good suggestion, but it fails on my scores: 

Interpreting music...C:/Program Files
(x86)/LilyPond/usr/share/lilypond/current/ly/event-listener.ly:145:35:
In procedure ly:duration-length in expression (ly:duration-length
(ly:event-property event #)):
C:/Program Files
(x86)/LilyPond/usr/share/lilypond/current/ly/event-listener.ly:145:35:
Wrong type argument in position 1 (expecting Duration): #f

I don't have time now to figure out what is causing this. Neither can I
risk making changes to the scores at such a short time before our launch
concert. Ah well. No note count in my speech then. Would have been nice
to be able to know how many notes we wrote into LP for the concert.
