Amen to that. Jan and I had some spectularly bad fights over patch handling (mainly Jan complaining of mine). Those fights always were caused by discussing things in a hurry over e-mail, and were always resolved when we called to discuss things over the telephone. I warmly recommend getting together, hacking, thinking and drinking some beer (or whatever your preferred beverage). > Are you with me? -- Han-Wen Nienhuys - han...@xs4all.nl - http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanwen _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
