Look, are we talking "horrible monstrocity, such that are, commonly wrote, by non-English native speaker", or a minor word choice? I mean, does this sentence _actually_ bother anybody? Or make it unclear? ---- Accidentals are only printed on tied notes which begin a new system: ---- I personally think that "which" makes the sentence flow better -- that's why I changed it from the "that" which was originally put there by Valentin (IIRC). When Kurt complained, I changed it back to "that", but I still think which there's nothing wrong with "which" in that sentence. [sic :P ] > Might not the same arguments be applied to the benefits of knowing > Lilypond's "grammar?" Sure! I am willing to go on record in stating that a native LilyPond writer, who has been reading and creating lilypond code every day for over twenty years, will have no need to know the formal rules of LilyPond grammar.
