Re: Repeat signs not working for me

[Piers Snell]

Thanks for your patience... it must be the version that's the problem.  Documentation is indeed for a much more recent version than mine, so probably includes parsing not available in 2.16.  (I understand the issue about people's unwillingness to help with an old version.  My other go-to software is from 1991, and still works fine!)

I'll come back if an updated version doesn't play ball, but just for the record, those examples I included were lifted directly from the NR for 2.21, so they probably would deliver the correct output for yourself.

Thanks again;

Piers.

Hi Piers,

You can't just make up barlines. Please read the NR, Section 1.2.5 for 2.21.6.

New bar line types can be defined with \defineBarLine.

And, um, are you seriously using 2.16.2? Why? That is so utterly out
of date that I am shocked. Even stable version 2.18 has been out for
so many years I can't remember. Version 2.20 has been released a long
time ago, and development versions of 2.21.6 and above are very, very,
stable and readily available from the site.

No matter what your reason for being obsolete, sorry, you are going to
get much more help and assistance from the colleagues on the list if
you use a current version that people actually have. I don't mean to
sound harsh, but being more current can only benefit you and your
scores.

2.21.6 runs on all grades of hardware that I have come across. It's
not like you need a new powerful computer to run it.

Andrew
