Is c4 a note or a variable name? Is \part2 the variable "part" followed by a half note, or is it the variable "part2"? It's easy to tell the developers "make it so". But before you can tell a compiler to "make it so", you need to have a logically coherent proposal. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
