Re: How to avoid "programming error: Unknown prefatory spacing."?

[Mats Bengtsson]

The "programming error" printout is just a warning, I don't
worry too much about them. However, your previous email 
about the lyrics spacing has already caused Han-Wen to 
submit a patch that should appear in 1.6.4, but it seems
he forgot to tell you on the mailing list. If you want to 
try it already now, download the latest lilypond_1_6 version
from the CVS archives and compile them yourself.
