I have been using 2.23.14 very heavily, on a large set of relatively complicated and inter-connected files, in a mission-critical environment (getting the scores done for the public workshop/reading of “The Quest” that happened on Saturday night), and encountered no problems — quite the opposite: many things that I had to work around before (especially around spacing, collisions, etc.) seem to have been improved since my last major upgrade. Whether or not it was a wise decision to upgrade to 2.23.14 right in the middle of an unbelievably high-pressure, time-sensitive musical theatre workshopping process is another matter… ;) But it's no doubt gratifying to hear that Lilypond handled the strain. All the best, Kieren. p.s. Huge thanks to everyone who makes my engraving — and thus composing and arranging — life possible (and especially those who helped me with those custom-dynamics and \newSpacingSection “fatal errors” last week!). My colleagues can't believe how quickly I can crank out scores, and how amazing they look with just my stylesheets and essentially no tweaking. One concrete example: on Saturday, I finished composing and arranging two songs at 10AM; by noon, they both had vocal scores (i.e., lead sheets), and the one that needed a piano-conductor score (i.e., with a written-out accompaniment) also had that, and they both looked fantastic (great spacing, no collisions, etc.), and at 1PM we started rehearsing with them. Every time I have the chance to slow down and take a breath in my creative process — like today! — I am astonished anew at what Lilypond can do. ________________________________ Kieren MacMillan, composer (he/him/his) ‣ website: www.kierenmacmillan.info ‣ email: kie...@kierenmacmillan.info My work day may look different than your work day.
