Well, we ran out of volunteer time during GDP. Ralph has been adding more entries after that, and I think he's almost finished NR 1. So... it'll probably be about six months until he gets to NR 3. Of course, I'd encourage him not to bother doing NR 3 until it's been rewritten, so I guess we're looking at a year or more. Feel free to send a quick-fix patch. >> With all that said here is the code for the footer that solves the >> problem > > Excellent; hopefully that will now be added to the docs at the correct > place. BLOODY MAO NO!!! ... well, depending on what you consider "the correct place". The correct place is LSR. LSR, as a snippet submitted by a user, namely Chip. This requires ZERO effort on our part, and FIVE MINUTES of effort on his part. Once he's done that, all future users who have this question can search LSR, find his snippet, and be happy. Now, this snippet won't get tagged with "docs", because we already have two perfectly good snippets which show how to do this. But I have no desire to edit / remove non-doc snippets from LSR, so rest assured that anybody searching LSR will find that snippet. - Graha _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
