There's one thing that puzzles me. Current syntax is
\offset property offset-value grob-name
I understand that grob-name is at the end because it's optional, and
we want to
omit it when we're using \offset as a tweak. However, i find this syntax awkward. Since David K's change that
allowed to use
dot-separated list for specyfying grobs "together" with properties,
couldn't we
process both the property and grobname as one argument, and therefore
keep the
usual order? In other words, what about syntax like this:
\offset grob-property-path offset-value
where grob-property-path would be either Grob.property (when using
\offset as an
override) or just property (when using it as a tweak)?
Here I kept the same pattern as \alterBroken and \shape, as they have been revised by David Kastrup. I agree that the syntax is a little awkward, and that it would be nice if the pattern you give were workable. However, IIRC, this syntax is the only one currently feasible. I'm not an expert here, though. https://codereview.appspot.com/8647044/ _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
