Jan? Well, he'd not likely be in a rush to update, given that LilyPond worked fine for him for decades. Anekdote: two(?) years ago I was in a LilyPond-centric conference in Salzburg and put something like \override Staff.KeySignature.color = #red on a slide. Han-Wen discretely took me aside and told me that I had misspelt what should be \override Staff.KeySignature color = #red That seriously threw me for a loop since that syntax change had been done (backward-compatibly) in 2012 or so, and my whole manner of thinking about that line did not match Han-Wen's. Of course I literally knew where he was coming from, and it was a place he was comfortable with. It felt sort of seeing someone enter a house through a tunnel trapdoor that had not been used as such for a decade because there was a much more convenient entrance by now. -- David Kastrup
