Priority-Regression policy

2009-11-29 Thread Graham Percival
What's the feeling amongst developers about what should be ranked as priority-Regression (and thus stop a release) ? In particular, should *everything* that used to work -- even if it was by accident? -- be ranked a Regression? For example, - markup \note in time signature: worked in 2.10, curren

Describing instruments

2009-11-29 Thread David Kastrup
Hi, currently the only connection between instrument and lilypond are instrument names (pure typesetting) and a midi instrument (just sonorization). I think it would be useful if instruments could become more than that: for example, if a given instrument (or one manual of such an instrument) has

Hi, all, something to discuss for the GLISS... I don't know where the right place is for such a suggestion (or if it's there at all), so I send it to -devel - so that it ends up in the archives at least. I propose using a different separator for \parallelMusic than "|", and allow to includ
