Note I'm working from the pdf version...
2.13 Printing Lyrics
Your hyphen example leads me to believe the text under the notes should
read "Twin-kle twin-kle". There are no hyphens but it looks to me as if
the whole point of the example is "how to put hyphens in".
4.1 Suggestions for writing Lilypond files
A new one that I've found you don't want to forget - "explicitly specify
the length of the first note every time you use '{'. Don't rely on the
default".
The number of times I've stuck music expressions together, and because I
forgot that, the first note of the second expression takes its length
from the last note of the first, and gets it badly wrong...
6.4.4 Partial measures
imho this is still very misleading at first glance. It should be
something like
"The syntax for this command is
\partial duration
where duration is the length of the leading notes
Part of the trouble is the last sentence - "The property measurePosition
contains a rational number indicating how much of the measure has passed
at this point." Which measure? The one you think you're in, or the one
the computer thinks you're in? My instinctive reaction is "the partial
measure" but with hindsight that clearly is wrong. You're talking about
the first full measure, which is not the measure containing the leading
notes... if you change this sentence to say "the first full measure" at
least it's a bit clearer (but still weird to a musician - "at the start
of the piece our positon relative to the second bar is ...").
6.4.6 Unmetered music
In the "bugs" section you seem slightly confused, mentioning first page
breaks, then line breaks. Which one is it?
I'll call it a day here, and carry on with chapter 9 tomorrow ...
Cheers,
Wol
