Hello everyone,
As discussed on the -user list, this is a patch to start a section in
the Specialist Notation chapter on contemporary music.
Currently it's just a menu of general sub-headings -- more will follow
in the next days. It's intended to provide both a unified collection of
references to the existing documentation on contemporary notational
techniques along with extensive examples, snippets and so on.
I really hope that this patch (or rather, this email containing the
patch:-) has avoided the DOS line endings. I've tested it on a fresh
git branch by emailing it to myself with new Thunderbird settings and it
applies cleanly.
If not, further work on this section may be slightly delayed as I seek
out Thunderbird developers to beat over the head until they offer a
solution ...
Best wishes,
-- Joe
