Sorry, I came on too strong there. I didn't mean to say that writing snippets is not a good introduction -- it's probably the best introduction we have. In fact, I myself began with lilypond by working on snippets (they were called "input/test/" back then)! I'm disappointed that there hasn't been more interest in LSR, and more volunteers working on it [1]. But that's a social problem, not a technical one. If we can solve that social problem, I'd be much more ethusiastic about defending the status quo [2]. [1] of course there was some recent interest in this. But to put some numbers on it: I was expecting ~3 contributors per year to do serious work within LSR, and to have ~1 new LSR editor per year. I think that over the lifetime of LSR (i.e. 7 years) we've had about 5 contributors doing serious work and 2 or 3 editors. [2] I mean, "defending the status quo" for positive reasons, not just because "it'll be a big mess to change anything". - Graham _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
