-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 While translating the AU to German, I realized that currently our applications have similar options, but use different shortcuts for them. In particular, some converters use -V for verbose and -v for version, while others use -v for verbose and -V for version... Shouldn't we change this so that at least all applications that come together with lilypond use the same option names?
While the GNU coding standard does not give any suggestions on the short option names, most command-line utilities use -v for --verbose and -V (or no short option) for --version. Thus I propose to use the following "standard" options consistently for lilypond, lilypond-book, *2ly, convert-ly, etc.: - -h, --help ... usage and options - -o, --output ... output file - -v, --verbose ... verbose - -V, --version ... version number - -w, --warranty ... warranty and copyright Some converters also don't have a --warranty option yet... What do you think?
