I was thinking along the same lines. It's simpler for users if they
can
indicate the (absolute) octave using ' and , in the way the always do.
It would
be easy to see that the following would be the same:
\absolute '' { a b c } \absolute s'' { a b c } \absolute { a'' b'' c'' }
There is no such thing as '' or s'' as a recognizable element in LilyPond's syntax and there is not even a tangible representation of it in Scheme. I don't think that such a feature warrants both messing with the parser as well as introducing new Scheme entities. So at least for me, those proposals are non-starters. https://codereview.appspot.com/235010043/ _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
