Hi Mark, Werner
The most important thing about these errors is that they can _always_ be
traced back to a source line so is it possible to word the error
something like:
warning: lilypond cannot interpret a (de)crescendo.
MIDI output ignoring (de)crescendo starting at line <nnnn>.
This way the diagnostic states why Lily can't do what the user has
coded, what it's doing as a result, and the consequences of the error
condition detected.
Cheers,
Ian

Here are my candidates:
"warning: impossible or ambiguous (de)crescendo."
"warning: impossible or ambiguous (de)crescendo (MIDI)."
"warning: ignoring impossible or ambiguous (de)crescendo."
"warning: ignoring impossible or ambiguous (de)crescendo (MIDI)."
"warning: MIDI found an impossible or ambiguous (de)crescendo."
"warning: MIDI is ignoring an impossible or ambiguous (de)crescendo."
Anyone care to vote, suggest an alternative, or express
an opposition to this idea?
What about
warning: MIDI: impossible or ambiguous (de)crescendo: ignored
It looks horrible from a grammatical point of view, but it probably
makes scanning through log files easier.
