[jmsl] LilyPond issues

[jmsl at music.columbia.edu]

Hi List,
    I have been making much use of the LilyPond export feature since it was
recently added to JScore.  Lately, however, I am experiencing increasingly
frustrating results converting my scores, which do utilize a good deal of
dynamics, marks, and text comments.  At first, I was able to glean a couple
of tips from the LilyPond manual to correct certain global layout issues,
but my latest score has measures printing in reverse order, barlines in the
middle of nowhere, etc.  I have checked for measure duration errors,
"contiguous tempi" and the like, but so far this has not helped.  I am not
even sure if I should direct this post here or to the LilyPond list, but my
programming skills are not advanced enough to fully inspect the .ly files
that Jscore outputs.  I don't want to have to go back to cutting and pasting
screen shots of Jscore (it didn't look nearly as professional), but I am
limited to free- and shareware.  Any suggestions will be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks,
J Starpoli
