Mats, I your write up on setting properties (http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2003-10/msg00195.html) and found it very helpful and readable. I definitely think it should be polished up and added somewhere in the documentation, perhaps in the (http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.1/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Interpretation-context.html#Interpretation%20context) section. -- Thanks, Jeff _______________________________________________ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
