That's not all of it. If you had to modify LilyPond's scm/*.scm files, you'd still have most disadvantages of hard code modification, in particular your changes not surviving an upgrade of the LilyPond installation. The main advantage of solving problems at the user Scheme level (rather than the core Scheme level) is that your problems tend to stay solved while upgrading LilyPond. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
