Here I strongly disagree. There must be means to make LilyPond's
`source code' readable by people also which don't use an editor's
special lilypond mode. Compare this:
<c e g>8[ <c e g> <c e g> <c e g> <c e g> <c e g> <c e g> <c e g>] |
<c e a>8[ <c e a> <c e a> <c e a> <c e a> <c e a> <c e a> <c e a>] |
<a d f>8[ <a d f> <a d f> <a d f> <a d f> <a d f> <a d f> <a d f>] |
<b d g>8[ <b d g> <b d g> <b d g> <b d g> <b d g> <b d g> <b d g>] |
with this:
<c e g>8[ \repeat unfold 6 { <c e g>8 } <c e g>] |
<c e a>8[ \repeat unfold 6 { <c e a>8 } <c e a>] |
<a d f>8[ \repeat unfold 6 { <a d f>8 } <a d f>] |
<b d g>8[ \repeat unfold 6 { <b d g>8 } <b d g>] |
(maybe this can be written in a better way) and that:
<c e g>8[ q q q q q q q] |
<c e a>8[ q q q q q q q] |
<a d f>8[ q q q q q q q] |
<b d g>8[ q q q q q q q] |
I'm not sure that you can beat the q notation w.r.t. readability.
