FWIW I've also sung a lot of music with incipits and I didn't gather that one single note would be standard; I've even seen full movements as incipit. if the sung music starts with a ligature, it's even impossible to have just one note as incipit. to me "note or notes" is just pleonasm for "notes". p _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
