site:lilypond.org/doc/v2.19 search terms here Or, if you want to search several sites, set up a link or bookmark something like this: https://www.google.com/search?q=searchKey+site:lilypond.org/doc/v2.19+OR+site:lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR+OR+site:lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com Knute Snortum (via Gmail) On Fri, Mar 18, 2016 at 12:02 PM, Jaime Oliver <jaime.oliv...@gmail.com> wrote: > well, some examples of the LSR <http://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Browse> have > "2.18 or higher” so you’d technically miss those if you only search for > 2.19 examples.
