Documentation suggestion: "what's new"

2008-04-27 Thread David Griffel
The Lilypond documentation has a "News" page, saying what is new since the last _major_ release. But it's not easy to see what is new since the last release. When 2.11.45 appeared, it would be nice to know how it differs from 2.11.44 - then I'd know whether it's worth upgrading. Maybe a full "r

figured bass - tiny accidentals

2006-09-22 Thread David Griffel
The issue of the accidentals in figured bass being a lot smaller than the figures was raised in July; I don't know that an answer was posted. It's the same in 2.9.18. It's acceptable in constructions like 4# but when the figuring consists only of # (meaning 3#), the disparity in size between th

Is it possible to tweak lyric-extender to increase horizontal space between extender and previous syllable? The default spacing is very tight. Have looked through manual, can't find an answer. David -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/lyric-extender%2C-spacing-befored-tf210

point & click in 2.9.12 [was: p&c on WinXP via editor]

2006-08-10 Thread David Griffel
Following my posting about point and click not working via an editor on WinXP, I've experimented more. It seems that in 2.9.12 on Windows, point and click sometimes works and sometimes doesn't, giving the dialog described in my email of yesterday. It doesn't seem to matter whether the .pdf fi

Lilypond 2.9.12 on windows produces a .pdf file with point-and-click information, very useful. Adobe reader shows a tooltip when mouse is over a notehead or text, giving the line/column of the relevant bit of the source file. I haven't learnt how to configure it to open the editor at that poi
