Are there any special horn notation stuff that would require such a section? (the answer may well be `no', but I don't know) -- err, don't answer this question yet. I'm not thinking about NR 2 until we finish NR 1... this is just a small example to show that _no_ user can afford to say "oh, Graham does string music, so I don't need to bother looking for problems with violin music writing with the lilypond docs". :) > I read the mailiing list > regularly, and learn a lot from it, usually just storing up the > knowledge that LP is capable of X and that if I ever need to do X, I > can search for it later, rather than actually using X. lilypond-user secretary?

Remember to remove it when using the actual code." > Where do I get "the actual code"? ... I'm sorry to say this, but could we put that discussion on hold for a week or so? As you've noted, there's been a huge number of posts over the weekend; I'd like to get things settled down a bit before returning to that issue. General note: please send suggestions like this in a separate email. That will keep the discussions much more focused and easier to follow. > 3.
