Not to mention this limited interest on the lilypond bug page
(http://lilypond.org/web/devel/participating/bugs), where
participation is so much encouraged, is - in my opinion - a waste of
time.
Not at all! For example, from version 2.10.0 to 2.10.33, a tremendous
number of bugs have been
fixed, and even more have been fixed in the current development series,
2.11.x.
A brief discussion about the bug fixing activities during the last
months is included in
http://valentin.villenave.info/The-LilyPond-Report-12.
Still, if you are interested in joining forces, you are very welcome!
In fact, the version number was a mistake. But both reported bugs
remain when using the actual version number "2.10.25".
It turns out that the bug fixes I had in mind, when sending my previous
reply were not included in
2.10.33, but only in the 2.11.x releases. However, I can confirm that
the lilypond-book problems
you report do not appear with the latest development version.
To ignore user's bug reports because of the mentioned version number
is, in my view, a mistake as long as the reported bugs still exist.
Of course we don't do that. the bug report responsible person always
checks bug reports to see
if they apply to the latest version and if they do, then they are
included in the bug database.
