Hello Philip, you might use markup-lists. In markups, the parens are typeset: --snip-- \version 2.15.40 % should run in 2.14 % define a music-function, to convert a markup-list to a list of LyricEvents lyricmarkup = #(define-music-function (parser location mup)(markup-list?) (make-music

I'm in the camp, with you, that prefers this particular bit of clutter. An end repeat barline makes my poor underworked neurons look feverishly for the begin repeat barline, and if it doesn't leap out at me, I'm in trouble. But I mostly sing more classical stuff. Jazz players live lives replete

Music notation is complex. Any ASCII representation of music notation likewise has to be complex. Any simplification of lilypond syntax must mean a removal of features. The only other alternative is to use a WYSIWYG editor where you draw the musical notation you want, and good luck waiting for

Hi TIm, I agree with much of what you said. However It is not all that easy to make Lilypond to do things like setting four bars to the line (something jazz musicians tend to like). That's pretty darned simple now — check the archives for more details. =) Cheers, Kieren.
