Yes. That's one rather prominent extension of 2.17 (the previous syntax will still work for the most important commands, but it is rather surprising how fast the power users are forgetting its details, strongly suggesting that the previous syntax was too complex for infrequent users). <URL:http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.17/Documentation/changes/index.html> The LilyPond syntax of dot-separated words Voice.Accidental has been made interchangeable with #'(Voice Accidental), a Scheme list of symbols. As one result, code like \override Voice.TextSpanner #'(bound-details left text) = "rit." is now equivalent to \override Voice.TextSpanner bound-details.left.text = "rit." or even \override #'(Voice TextSpanner) bound-details.left.text = "rit." Grob and grob property path no longer need to be specified as two separate arguments to commands like ‘\override’ and \revert, allowing for the syntax \override Voice.TextSpanner.bound-details.left.text = "rit." Since complementary music functions like ‘\overrideProperty’ cannot support forms with and without separating space at the same time, using a single dotted path is now the preferred form. Specifying grob path and grob property path separately, currently still supported with ‘\override’ and ‘\revert’ for compatibility reasons, is deprecated. Due to words now being accepted as symbol function arguments, the interfaces of ‘\accidentalStyle’, ‘\alterBroken’, ‘\footnote’ and ‘\tweak’ had to be redesigned where optional symbol arguments were involved. Please check the respective music function documentation for details. Several commands now accept symbol lists (conveniently entered as dot-separated words) for various kinds of arguments. These include ‘\accidentalStyle’, ‘\alterBroken’, ‘\footnote’, ‘\hide’, ‘\omit’, ‘\overrideProperty’, ‘\shape’, and ‘\tweak’. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
