The boat of the passive-aggressive passenger? There are a number of recipes around which are apparently working only sometimes and for some people. Why? That requires the will for experimentation and perseverence. Sure, programmers might have that, but it's not exclusive to them. The above sounds like "Believe me if I were a hero I would sign a petition against overboarding surveillance" to me. Things are not as bad as that. Yet. If people are willing to do what they can. Which may be more or less, but that's not an excuse for those able to contribute less to demand that the others bear the load alone. In my youth, I had to solder my computer together, write my own BIOS (not to be confused with the existing monitor ROM) and bootstrap loader, write my own arcade games. No, I wasn't born a programmer. It was just what was necessary to move ahead. "If only someone else did things for me" was not really an option. Of course I was young and had plenty of time. But working out the bad kinks from existing recipes and streamlining them into a workable process that, perhaps, someone else might cast into a program or script eventually is not on the same level of difficulty. Yes, it's very likely an exercise in frustration. That's life. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
