Well, the less reason for quibbling (which I myself tend to indulge in more than appropriate) ends up on our list and the less confusion ends up with our users, the friendlier LilyPond will appear to everyone. So if you have a good suggestion of how to improve that warning in a manner that would have increased the likelihood of you understanding just what the problem was, feel free to suggest a different wording, possibly depending on the situation (we don't need the same warning text for everything: we can special-case some cases). And rather than wasting unnecessary time with LilyPond (like you probably feel the current text made you do), you'll invest time for an actual improvement benefitting users that may see the same problem in future. All the best -- David Kastrup My replies have a tendency to cause friction. To help mitigating damage, feel free to forward problematic posts to me adding a subject like "timeout 1d" (for a suggested timeout of 1 day) or "offensive". _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list bug-lilypond@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
