aha, that's where it comes from! this has been bugging me for 7 or 8 years. > Ignore, replace the @var with @code, or what? Let's make it a @c weird construct to avoid complaint about parentheses () @c inside @var annotated, the @emph{@code{(x . y)}} position of the indicator and a IIRC @var{} is displayed as @emph{@code{}}. I don't like using formatting commands directly, but let's do it anyway. (oh, it might be nice to send a feature request to the texinfo guys... but it's been years and years since they last had a release, so let's use the workaround) - Graham _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
