This one is rather fundamentally a consequence of quite engrained syntax decisions. Which may have some roots in the TeX-centric syntax designed for the MPP (?) music preprocessor for MusicTeX: Han-Wen and Jan certainly had a strong TeX background. Once you can no longer write c4 but have to write c 4 instead, it will be easy to make that change. Good luck campaigning for that. The kind of logic that has more of a chance to change is that the like of \violin.2 (which has no problems being written as \violin.#(+ 1 1) by the way) is likely to work in more circumstances than it does now. That's something where gradual improvements are reasonable to be expected. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
