Hi, Unfortunately, I haven't had the time to be very active in the review of the GDP drafts, but I happened to look into "New dynamic marks" of 1.3.1 and have some comments: - The markup command for \roundf is unnecessarily complicated and the result looks bad. The \center-align markup comman

2008-08-06 Thread Mats Bengtsson
I personally have *never* needed to use \new. \context implicitly instantiates a new context if the one named doesn't yet exist, so \new is redundant, *except* where you want multiple distinct contexts with the same name, or you're using unnamed contexts (which, internally, is the same thin
