Since you are clearly a bright fellow, I must conclude that you are
intentionally acting like a jerk.

Why?

In what context are facts something that can be sensibly disagreed with?

If you think you can silence me, you will have no luck.

I'm trying to help the adoption of Lilypond to a broader audience by
suggesting useful conventions.

The real answer to my question of what to do when confronted with childish
behavior is that I am making my arguments to everyone on the list.  If my
suggestions make sense, this will convince others, and they will in turn
convince you.


I'm perfectly fine if no one else supports my suggestion and it is dropped.


However, I felt obligated to point out why the topic is difficult, and that
is due to the confusion between the intention of
vertical-order-in-the-staff and what the << // // // >> construct actually
does (there is no relationship), and to suggest alternates that clarify the
usage.

Until this confusion is cleared up, we will have such problems.

That is something that will not go away through willful ignorance.



Sincerely,

David Elaine Alt
