Re: error on startup

[David Rysdam]

Setting the line width fixed this.

I don't want to use ly2div--I've already done about 10
hours worth of downloading (getting TeTeX (and -fonts)
multiple times, etc.  I don't want to ALSO get LaTeX. 
Plus I'm running out of space on my HD--only about
90MB left.

I have an error to report.  Segfault using lilypond
1.2.17.  I have a gif of "Yesterday" that I'm
transcribing to lilypond format (to practice the
software AND so I have a MIDI version to compare my
playing against).  I've got the whole melody in and 6
measures of the accompaniment.  The 7th measure is
giving me hell.  When I fill the measure, lilypond
crashes.  I've tried two different ways of creating
the Staffs (as you'll see in the file).  I've tried
putting in a whole rest for the 7th measure.  Nothing
works.  I've marked the location with "PROBLEM
MEASURE".
