Bar checks help detect errors in the durations. A bar check is
entered using the bar symbol, `|
'. Whenever it is encountered
during interpretation, it should fall on a measure boundary. If it
does not, a warning is printed. In the next example, the second bar
check will signal an error
\time 3/4 c2 e4 | g2 |
Bar checks can also be used in lyrics, for example
\lyrics { \time 2/4 Twin -- kle | Twin -- kle }
Failed bar checks are caused by entering incorrect
durations. Incorrect durations often completely garble up the score,
especially if it is polyphonic, so you should start correcting the
score by scanning for failed bar checks and incorrect durations. To
speed up this process, you can use skipTypesetting
, described
in the next section.
