As discussed on the -user list, this is a patch to start a section
in
the Specialist Notation chapter on contemporary music.
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.
The inline copy has gone now :), but the Content-transfer-encoding
is still 7-bit, which I think is relevant, and it still had DOS line
endings.
I've now learnt quite a bit about the effect of this. It gives
rise to a
variety of quite misleading error messages from git am - nothing
simple like 'patch has DOS line endings', which would seem easy
to detect - but messages like
'bad git-diff - expected /dev/null on line 10'
or errors reporting trailing white space when there is none.
I changed the line endings to Unix and the patch applied cleanly.
I'll push to origin/master, so if you make any of the amendments
Graham suggested do that as a patch from this change.
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 ...
Looks like that's the next step now.
Trevor
