Of course backwards incompatible changes are allowed until GLISS has stabilized a particular bit of language. But in the case of \tempo, I would hope that adding explicit delimiters to the parameters could clear it up. I think we should require explicit delimiters around the argument list for any function which has an optional arguments. - Graham _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
