Indeed - but no harm in looking at other possibilities if planning a request for changes in Frescobaldi. > For multiple users on one project surely you would use git nowadays, on > github or your own server, pretty much the universal answer (because it works > so well). Being an elderly and amateur single-user, I have limited experience of GitHub, but I take your point. > > The issue is about sharing _templates_ and _snippets_ not includes.

I can accept the idea that snippets should stand on their own feet and be complete in themselves, but I envisage a template as being larger — perhaps one of a family of similar entities. In this context it makes a lot of sense to use \include files for code which is common to all. In the event that a bug in such a code fragment is discovered, it doesn’t need to be fixed in every file of which it would necessarily be a part if you excluded the use of \includes. This happened to me recently when a change in Lilypond version made illegal a piece of code which I had previously got away with! > > Sure, you can load a file and 'save as'.
