These should be as free as possible of "tweaks" as these will confuse and de-motivate the uninitiated. It would be nice if the invocations of instructions/tweaks could be intuitive - you cannot really say that for most Lily tweaks at present. Lilypond is very tweakable to produce all manner of complicated scores but this power needs to be either sheilded from the beginner whose musical/computational skills may not be up to it or made much more accesible. These are not meant to be critical comments just the observations of a convert with modest skills. regards Peter Gentry _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
