So, let's admit that this is one comparative weaknes of lilypond -- which it will always have, as far as I can see, even if there's ample room for improvements of all sorts -- and compare it to its comparative strengths. we're all using lilypond because of those, otherwise we might as well turn to sibelius right away. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
