Personally, I think it would be reasonable if LilyPond editors like Frescobaldi or Emacs, when asked to insert a basic document template, would do so with a paper setting corresponding to the current locale/environment/whatever. But LilyPond itself should behave the same with the same input. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
