Hello Paolo, I did not mean it this way. I meant it like: In most cases one can prepare a score using Lilypond 2.23 (so using Spontini) that is compatible with a Lilypond 2.18 version.
So Saul can probably use Spontini and 2.23 to do his tweaks and still obtain a 2.18 compatible file. Cheers, Valentin Am Dienstag, 19.
