WOW! This is what I was trying to do with the editor I wrote 10 years ago (which kept me tied to v2.6.5), if I had the programming skill/patience. There is so much available that I don't need to have the template file I used to use anymore.
I'm still struggling a little bit with the output path, but it's not a big deal since I was seriously contemplating using notepad. The editor is also not finding available variables inside of my drum variables. Again not a big deal since I'm pretty methodical about my variable names and have relied on cut/paste for a long time (hence my initial idea to just use notepad). As for snippets - so far I've added a generic variable, generic drum high/low variable, the code to set a midi instrument, a drum staff, and a comment break (just a percent sign followed by a bunch of asterisks). As I have been working on an old tune of mine I also added a generic rhythmic framework for chords which simplified getting the backbone of the tune working. Since I use a lot of these same rhythms a lot, it'll probably stay in the list - I'm likely to use that rhythm again. There's still a lot for me to delve into with v2.18.2 and Frescobaldi...I'm going to eventually get to working on adding lyrics, and have to re-learn how to write alternative melodies and how to attach lyrics (seems there have been some changes since 2.6.5), and deal with chord names and their alternatives (I think chord name exceptions got better with v2.10?). There some volume tweaks I've seen with midi (the main thrust of what I do) that I've seen briefly - I'll have to go back and read those sections a little closer. But nothing so far has been too difficult in 2.18. And I'll recover the files on my old hard drive eventually, then I can play with convert ly. But all in all, I'm very pleased with both the new version of Lilypond and Frescobaldi. -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Thoughts-on-Frescobaldi-tp182350.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
