Nah, it's not shouted down. ;) Though, there are two points to consider, imho (1) I don't understand how equal width bars should work at all, p.e. { \repeat unfold 32 b32 b1 } (2) I've no clue how it could be implemented.

Well, I have to admit I stumbled across "how am I supposed to use it" as well. Mostly because I overlooked the Wiki-button, where all is explained... Furthermore openlilylib provides an own infrastructure, it is _designed_ to use it as a whole library. This is boon and bane at the same time, making it impossible to simply copy/paste some code (unlike LSR). I think many people like the design as a git-based library with the current infrastructure. Though it has disadvantages as well. The problem with copy/paste short snippets I already mentioned. Furthermore one can't share ly-code between people relying on openlilylib-functionality and those not having installed openlilylib at all. Well, these are my own thoughts about openlilylib. Furthermore github is nowadays owned by microsoft. I don't think it is appropriate for GNU software to point to such site. I may be wrong here, if I'm wrong we _should_ document how to use it.
