Eyolf: I think we agree on the need for more simplification, and if you look at the feature requests, a lot of them are actually about simpler input syntax rather than about adding "exotic" whole-new features. - for instance, a major feature request is to make LilyPond+editor easier to install and to understand under Windows. - another example: it would be nice to have one single command to start a TextSpanner without having to \override TextSpanner #'bound-details #'left #'text (I've already been working quite a lot on this particular one). So when I say "we should make requesting features and taking them into account easier", I am also advocating for actually improving the existing software. Cheers, Valentin
