_I_ get my Schemy-dashes? I was _not_, I repeat, _not_ the person who invented variables named line-width and similar and considered writing Oh_my_god_engraver without quotes a fabulous idea. Someone also decided to allow digits in names in INITIAL mode (and possibly some TeX escape sequences as well) but since, like everything in LilyPond, this was not documented and _thank_ _God_ nobody noticed since LilyPond does not start out in INITIAL mode, I have been able to remove this before the damage had been established outside of music mode. If it had been up to me, "my" Schemy-dashes and underscores would have gone where the sun don't shine. But while trying to create some more-or-less consistent syntax according to more-or-less simple rules, I try not to break all too many existing use cases. With the current rule set, we can at least _pretend_ that somebody had a more or less consistent design in mind before starting to write LilyPond. I am making progress on being able to use pseudo-variables like \motif 1670 and hope that I'll get people out of my hair when I get that into shape. No, it is not the same, but it has its own advantages. http://codereview.appspot.com/6493072/ _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
