Lyrics do complicate matters; are your scores with or without them? Also, my figures include tweaking and some proofreading. Proofreading is exactly the phase where point-and-click would be useful, provided it works well enough (I can hardly wait to get home and try it). > I enter each polyphonic line separately, matching linebreaks in the > manuscript and the .ly source (this helps debugging a lot).

I usually don't care about that, mostly because everyone will be using the same score anyway; that's how choral music works, usually. Oh, and I guess you're probably a lot more intimate with Lilypond than I am. ;-) -- Arvid _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
