You've been following the printed instructions in our contributor's guide. I'm not going to call that "wrong". You've been building lilypond, building documentation, and sending good patches. I'm not going to call that "wrong". However, the "out-of-build" mkdir -p build cd build ../configure make steps can avoid a few potential problems, and it will allow us to simplify some stuff if everybody does it. I'd call that more "right". Cheers, - Graham _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
