Bug on LP web page

2016-12-17 Thread Peter Toye
Is there any mechanism for reporting bugs on the LP web pages? Or do the LP team read these emails? The link to the LSR on the "Snippets" page has a typo: http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/ instead of http://lsr.di.unimi.it Regards, Peter mailto:lilyp...@ptoye.com www.ptoye.com

Federico, Thank you very much. At the moment I'm still on 2.18 so I'm using those manual pages. I can't download 2.19 until Kaspersky have fixed their false positive bug. Also, it's not a stable release, and I'm fed up with debugging other people's software - I spent far too much of my professi

Hello Peter, Although 2.18 is the nominal stable release, I have found from experience that the development releases are remarkably clean and stable. I engrave massively complex modernist scores with a large amount of Scheme customization and only once in several years have I encountered a bug tha

Andrew, Thanks for these comments. I take your point about the stable releases, but I've had my fingers badly burned in the past (not by Lilypond) from using development-stage software. It's taken a lot of correspondence with the vendor and wasted a lot of time. Sometimes, it's even a full rele

I have again been trying to build up a sensible files-and-variables structure for more complex scores (e.g. orchestral pieces with several movements), and I seem once again to have run into the limitation that 'book' and 'bookpart' have no scope for variables. So I thought I would try Jan-Peter's p
