Graham: I believe you are actually the one who brought this debate up :-) I understand your fear of losing time and resources in "counterproductive-ness". But I don't think it was justified here... You misunderstood me. I meant "we need to talk about this in the LilyReport". Now, if you are willing to propose other topics and contribute some articles on your own (e.g. "Why Do So Many People Waste Their Time Doing Useless Stuff Instead Of Writing Documentation"), you'll be welcome :-) Besides, my initial question was not "is the conversion process reliable enough" but "are you missing some features/engraving rules/fonts or whatever from the old versions". Laura was answering this precise question, and made an interesting point (almost on a "philosophical" level, I could say), that is "what to do when your project evolves slower than the tool you use to work on it?" And accordingly to your conversion-pointless-debates-every-six-months rule, I should have already seen five or six discussions like this one; I do not remember having seen so many of these (the only one I can remember is actually the link I gave above). Oh and by the way, this week I tried to understand how convert-ly worked, and submitted a proposal with a patch: I didn't get any answer in days, until John finally noticed it. But that might very well be what you call another counterproductive-ness thing :-( Cheers, Valentin _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
