This is actually an email from Dana Emery in response to me. I don't think the lyric issue is relevant though, because IIRC LilyPond treats a tab between two syllables as a single space. > But even in such cases, as long as my tab-width matches the > tab-widths in the source, tabs2spaces should be fine.

The commitdiffs are sometimes off (I don't know why), but the "raw" sources and "blobs" always show tabs converted into 8 spaces. One thing you could do right now, without awaiting approval, is to check for lines that have tabs *after* spaces at the beginning. These should be converted to tabs *followed* by spaces. -Patrick _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
