Like "Draft", it has the wrong connotations. While a "Debugger" offers indeed data inspection as one part of its operation, the most important aspect is the ability to trace program flow. Also debugging involves analyzing the internal data and control flow of a program rather than its output. This is crucial enough that there are expressions like "post mortem debugging" for analyzing a core dump. > When we get drag-editing etc. in the music view then we'd certainly > change the name to something like "Advanced mode". > > Currently I think "Debug" suits best. I don't. Debugging, like its name suggests, involves the detection and removal of bugs. What you listed in this category, however, is mainly intended to help with _tweaking_ parameters rather than finding and fixing the cause of errant behavior. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
