I said LaTeX users because you did, but the statement is true about both. TeX users were the original topic of this thread. > TeX's macros are so peculiar because they rely on ad-hoc macro argument LilyPond's programming model is very different from TeX's, and will not be familiar to someone who comes in expecting to program LilyPond the same way as TeX. LilyPond is not a "TeX-based" or a "TeX-like" system. Your insistence that TeX is "peculiar" suggests that you think, as I do, that programming LilyPond is much different from programming TeX - which is what the original poster needs to know. -- Matthew Skala msk...@ansuz.sooke.bc.ca People before tribes. https://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/ _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
