4.5 Reporting bugs

If you have input that results in a crash or an erroneous output, then that is a bug. We try to respond to bug-reports promptly, and fix them as soon as possible. Help us by sending a defective input file, so we can reproduce the problem. Make it small, so we can easily debug the problem. Don't forget to tell which version of LilyPond you use! Send the report to bug-lilypond@gnu.org.

When you've found a bug, have a look at our bug database to see if it has already been reported. You could also try to do a few searches on the mailing list for the bug. Sometimes the bug will have already been reported and a fix or workaround is already known.

Here is an example of a good bug report:

It seems that placement of accidentals is broken.  In the
following example, the accidental touches the note head.
