There are two strands in this. 1. Questions related to the use of LilyPond.
2. Questions related to the use of Scheme etc coding for tweaking LilyPond. The first is best served by the lilypond-user community. The second is dealt with to some extent in the "Scores of Beauty" but only goes so far. Information in the strange world of Scheme is rather patchy and usually assumes a high level of familiarity with the terms used. The list concept for instance and control of memory not to mention smobs. In these areas on line forums such as Stackoverflow provide a useful resource. It is arguable that (for example) the LilyPond interfaces ly:etc could be better explained. I am well aware that skilled programmers, clear thinking logicians and pedantic musicologists have little patience with blunderings of mere mortals - although a few show remarkable forebearance. If Lily use is to prosper and expand surely detailed information on the structure and philosophy of the code would benefit all. It goes without saying that LilyPond is one of the finest examples of open source collaboaration and is without equal in its genre. No harm in wanting the best to get better. Festive feliciatations to Lily folk everywhere. regards Peter Gentry _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
