No. This is a long and complicated subsubsec
Reorganizing into fewer layers would mean reorganizing the containing structure so that we don't already end up in a subsubsec.
and the point of this issue is to improve clarity. The best way of doing that is to introduce structure into the very long text.
A very long text is not suitable as a subsubsec.
In particular we need to clearly distinguish the two methods of controlling automatic beaming so they can be contrasted and referenced.

This is a drawback, but not a disaster -- it might not happen.
A disaster waiting to happen is not a great thing. In particular since it will tend to happen undercover. People are not likely to recheck all page breaks just because they change an unrelated section some place above.

Neither it nor the following text are indented in html. In pdf the heading is indented, but in my view this is not detrimental to its purpose.
A heading indented as opposed to the following main paragraph shape? Ugh, ugh, ugh.
Far worse would be to use @unnumberedsubsubsec or @subsubheading as these all look identical in pdf and the intended structuring is lost.
So on balance we should go with @i{@strong ..}} as the best of the poor choices available.
I don't see any balance at all. It is not like anything precludes you from using @unnumberedsubsubsec @i{@strong ...} so it is not like using the heading commands for getting proper header distances, page breaks and indentation precludes you from additional markups. But again: the real issue to me seems that we are hiding a long chapter inside of a subsubsec already. http://codereview.appspot.com/6452072/ _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
