7/2 tone exists on the other hand I made a mistake: 7/2 tone is not equivalent
to 1 tone + 3/4 tone
but is equivalent to 3 tones + 1/2 tone.

That would be a HUGE improvement!

It's a question of absolute values, not relative ones. A fourfold
increase from an acceptable value to an acceptable value is
acceptable.

FYI: Using a recent GS version with its new PDF backend, the size gets
larger than 20MByte. I guess this is a bug, and I will soon report
this to the GS people so that it gets fixed in

Right: as far as I understand, these are also crucial for our own

Hi all,
before making large changes to our documentation build (see other
email), I'd like to start a discussion on inactive / unmaintained
translations. For an objective metric, I looked at the date of the last
translation update, ie commits that only touched the respective
subdirectory in Docume
During the last months, I've played a bit with Texinfo and would like
to discuss some ideas / simplifications for our translated
documentation. The base assumption is that translated .info files are
not important, ie we only build and install the English versions. If
that's not the case, please let
