Hi David,Actually, your logic and reasoning were quite correct. Only, the format statement was before the measureLength was set. I moved the format statement after the context-set-property and it now shows that the engraver does successfully reset the meter.I think the real problem is with the Completion_heads_engraver (probably a bug). To illustrate this, I added another line of simultaneous music - the only difference is the 4th note f - quarter note in one case and half note in the other.Here is the what it prints out:In the top staff, the second measure should have one quarter note and it has a half note (which should have been split and tied). In the third measure it should have had two quarter notes - it has instead only one quarter note.In the bottom staff, the second and third measure have the correct number of quarter notes. However, the a2 note in the third measure is split into two a4 notes and tied!It is looking more like a Completion_heads_engraver bug.
I couldn't say.
The Completion_heads_engraver seems pretty hardy, however. I mean it can deal with this example:
\version "2.18.0"
music = {
\relative c' {c1 c c c c c c c8}
}
\score {
\new Staff <<
\new Voice { \music }
\new Voice {
\repeat unfold 6 {
\time 5/16 s16*5
\time 3/8 s4.
\time 1/2 s2
}
}
>>
\layout {
\context {
\Voice
\remove Note_heads_engraver
\remove Rest_engraver
\consists Completion_heads_engraver
\consists Completion_rest_engraver
}
}
}
%%%%%%%%%%%
Possibly the problem is that the custom engraver is setting measureLength too late for Completion_heads_engraver to use it?
