There are _quite_ a lot of ways in which anyone can contribute without being a programmer. (Speaking from personal experience.) Now, the specific problem you’ve stumbled upon happens to be one that involves some of the trickiest, most specialized parts of LilyPond’s codebase. However, by taking some trivial stuff out of the plate of more experienced contributors, you may help give them more time to tackle complicated issues. At least, that’s how I’ve seen my own contributions for the past twelve years. > i think, however, that an agreement is a very important first step. at > least, it would be introduced in a TO-DO list. it will be taken care of > when or if there's somebody willing and able to do it. Well, I think this is what most of us regard as our TODO list: https://sourceforge.net/p/testlilyissues/issues/search/?q=_type%3AEnhancement+AND+status%3AAccepted Cheers, V. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
