Then you did a bad job of reducing it. When constructing a tiny
example, you make the smallest possible file that still
demonstrates the problem.

Sure. That sounds fair to me -- what, you want *me* to spend
hours working on *your* file?
Somebody needs to reduce that segfault to less than 10 lines of
lilypond input. You're more interested in this issue than I am,
and way more familiar with your symphony than me, so *I'm* not
going to spend time creating a tiny example for you.

WTF does the banking system have to do with this?

Right. You should come to the list with the *right amount* of
information. And with a tiny bit of practice, it takes about 15
minutes to reach the point of "right amount" of information.
- do you see the problem if you compile the tuba part by itself?
great, you've just eliminated 90% of your symphony.
- do you see the problem if you comment out the first half of the
tuba part? what about the second half?
great, you've just cut your remanining "problem area" in half.
- repeat the process of commenting stuff out until you have 1 or 2
bars.
- now look at the notes. You probably have some accientals in
those 2 bars. What happens if you remove those accidentals?
what about slurs, articulations? try removing all of those,
one by one, and see if the segfault still remains.
> Let me know if you want the project.
No, I don't want the project.
