Graham - You imply that "convert" doesn't upgrade cleanly or that those with newer versions don't use it. (I have found significant shortcomings converting ly files.) This is just one reason to dread leaving 2.4.6 behind. (Never tried 2.6.) The only identified selfish reason to upgrade is the ability to use \markup unattached. Otherwise, 2.4.6 does everything I want to do. It is very solid! Why is it no longer available for download?
There are many concerns supporting procrastination beyond the installation and setup effort. Will 2.4.6 and 2.8.? coexist on an XP machine without interaction? Including two instantiations of jEdit? What does convert leave hanging? How does functionality change post cygwin? What is the effect on fonts? How will spacing/layout change? The recent post "Moving to 2.8.4--a nightmare?" reinforces my reticence. For those, like me, building and maintaining a library of scores, changing ly versions is a big deal. The AllAbout examples should be welcomed in any version. Just need a posting repository available to all. - Bruce -----Original Message----- From: Graham Percival [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, June 24, 2006 8:42 PM To: Fairchild Cc: 'lilypond-user Mailinglist' Subject: Re: AllAbout Examples On Sat, 24 Jun 2006 17:38:43 -0500 "Fairchild" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Seems that LSR won't accept 2.4.6. I've made enquiries about LSR (I think it's still on 2.6), but we cannot accept anything into the docs if it requires 2.4. I remember that you had some problems with 2.6; do they still exist in 2.8? It would be nice if you could upgrade to 2.8 and produce examples which everybody can use.
