Hey Janek, The idea is to have a property of Grob, DOM-id, that results in the creation of two stencils that enclose the visual representation of the grob in a DOM node. These two stencils bookend all other stencils that comprise the grob. Currently, the only DOM-friendly lilypond backend is svg. Because a grob's visual representation may have more than one stencil, all of the stencils need to be contained in a node that has this id. In svg speak, this is <g id="foo"></g>(in html it would be <div id="foo"></div>). So, your intuition is right - all it is is an XML identifier. Nothing actually "happens" as far as layout goes. It's just useful for people who harvest data from DOM-friendly documents that lilypond generates to do strange things with music. I'm not sure how/where to include this info in the source: if you can think of a good way to phrase it that would make sense to other people, I'd be happy to include it in the patch. Cheers, MS _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
