Harm is not a C programmer either. Scheme is his only language and he learnt it because of LilyPond. So he has no exposure to the low-level nature of C++, nor to the basics of imperative programming languages that are sort of a required firm footing before you dive into the syntactic shitshow that C++ is. I certainly hope that he isn't as miffed at your dismissive attitude as I am since he is one of the most important contributors coming from the user side of LilyPond. >> Would something like this be a reasonable patch? > > > Yes, in my opinion.

Ok, I'll try that. -- David Kastrup
