Re: programming error

[Sean Reed]

Hello,

(Without the express goal of intentionally searching for these  
things!....)
Here's the info concerning the message of a "programming error" that  
the terminal output is giving me when I run my .ly file.

When I run Lilypond with the 85 measures that my score has so far, I  
receive a total of 7 statements of "programming error" in the  
console/terminal output. For the sake of "brevity" I have managed to  
localize 5 consecutive measures of the score which produce 4 statements  
of the "programming" error. I receive no warnings or parse errors, the  
pdf file gets made fine, and looks completely correct.

This is occurring with lilypond 2.3.13 on mac 10.3.5.

Commenting the lines
        \new PianoStaff <<
        \set PianoStaff.instrument = "Piano  "
        \set PianoStaff.instr = "Pno "
        \new Staff \pianoRhNotes
        \new Staff \pianoLhNotes
        >>
out of the \score results in a normal run with no "programming error"  
message.

Commenting out the "\new Staff << \violinNotes>>  " in the "\score"  
results in the same 4 statements of the  "programming error" message.

Here's the file:
