I will just check back in a few years then to see if Lilypond becomes
useable for the rest of us and you scheme heads can play around in
your
little pond by yourselves.
And I'm sure the lilypond community will be diminished by not having
your presence.
Quite unfortunate though, lilypond is an extremely cool technology
that MANY
MANY people are missing out on because of things like this
People miss out on lilypond because the view in a pdf reader is crap?
Wow, that's impressive.
and particularly
because of the attitude of the core developers, who are the only
ones that
really know how the hell it works. I'm a musician, not a
developer. All I
can do is try to collect as much info, like a beta tester and try
to give it
to people like you, begging, pleading, presenting screen shots,
waiting,
asking, prodding:
Or you could realise what's important and what's not.
Hope that you keep a list of things to fix or something,
or at the very least take my question seriously.... Instead you just
consistently act defiant and condescending, are quick to simply
dismiss
anything. I had hoped that if I waited a while it would get fixed,
but it
didn't. The only response is "fix it yourself"?
That's not a realistic response, THAT is a BS response from someone
who does
not give a damn about the lilypond user community.
No, that's a realistic response from someone who cares about fixing
problems with the program. There's a long list of bugs of things that
just don't work. Visual display on a particular pdf reader is a
really low priority problem compared to say, grace notes.
I'm also not a programmer, hell, I'm afraid to use the scheme
snippets that people have already made for me, but I realise what an
open-source project is: it's a labor of love for people who can do
something. I may not be able to fix anything. Hell, I can barely
answer questions about how using multiple voice contexts, but one
thing I'm really good at (at least I *think* I'm good at it), is not
complaining about something that really doesn't matter.
peace out

Yes, it is sad. You would almost think that noone gets paid to fix
user complaints.
Oh, wait.
