Best practice is always best practice and should be determined by lilypond, rather than the style of the music. Sometimes the syntax might be more precise than is necessary for a given piece, but it will Always Work. As a newcomer to lilypond, I would have preferred to see 'worst case' sample code in the Learning Manual, right from the beginning. It wouldn't make it any more difficult to understand and it would introduce the new reader to the correct (if not always necessary) syntax. It's much easier to skip that extra pair of curly brackets (or whatever) when experience says that you can, rather than trying to work out why apparently good code just throws up errors. I should add, that the current iteration of the Learning Manual is much better than just a couple of months ago, when I first ploughed through it. ;-) -- Nicholas WASTELL France _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
