midi elapsed time markers

I was searching for a way to print out midi elapsed time in my score to be able to easily start the midi file at the location I am currently working on. At the moment I write these in by hand but they change as I make changes to the music in other locations. As far as I could see, there is no w

Re: Add option to indicate frets by letters in tablature (issue164063)

What I am trying to say comes from my own experiences writing a gui program to do tab typesetting on macintosh. My software records {course,fret} data for each note in the score, and pitch information for each course on the instrument (simplifying courses with octaves as split play is very rare)

Thanks for this, Dana. We're some way off implementing fonts, or whatever means we select for rendering specific lettering, but I shall carefully file all this information away and draw on it at the appropriate time. For now I'm more concerned with understanding the internal mechanisms of LilyPo

I was amused by the recent "punctuation fix" commit: I've always considered the CG to be "the guide for contributors", or "the contributors's [sic] guide". In modern English, the latter is abbreviated (condensed?) into "the contributors' guide". I don't mind it being "the guide for a contributor"
