Thank you for doing this test! The results are valuable; i'd say that it works reasonably. (however it would also be good to test a more complicated piece - could you try it with first pages of attached scores?) From what i undestand, the most important comparison is between first and last file (IMSLP74045-PMLP148535-256-16_pls.png and IMSLP74045-PMLP148535-256-16_pls_p2mp_pls.png) - the first one is the original LilyPond engraving, and the second one is what you got after converting to musicXML and back to .ly? thanks, Janek _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
