Dear all,
when I tried version 2.23.80 for the first time yesterday, I was
absolutely shocked to see the new, very mundane comma as a breath mark
when rendering. I know that other notation programs also use the comma,
but for me the more caesura-like character used before was always a
reason to use Emmentaler/Feta, also and especially in MuseScore. The
normal text style comma, with its delicate tadpole continuation, goes
down much more easily in an opulent score with lyrics, staccato dots,
and other expressive marks. It's a misstep aesthetically and for
readability reasons, in my humble opinion. As a brass player, breath
marks are very important and actually occur in large numbers, so this
comma will really haunt me constantly.
However, since I don't expect you to undo it, then I do ask that you
still preserve the old style so that each Lilypondian can decide for
themselves whether to use the snappy comma or the Emmental original
breath mark (tm). If MuseScore (which I still use) adopts the modified
font, I may add the old breath mark there as well.
Sorry for the long text... and yes, I'm still shocked (and sticking with
older versions for now).
Kind regards
Andreas
