Well said, Xavier. We users certainly appreciate the many, many hours and the deep expertise put in by the developers to make such an excellent tool. And I think the developers (if I may, not being one) do appreciate the expertise that the users bring to interesting edge cases around music engraving and typesetting. The users don’t always say so, and so sometimes we all forget that the silent users are the happy users, merrily plugging along with a wonderful tool. That means that the users are most likely to speak when something is wrong, and it is easy to mistake that for complaining. LilyPond is a great tool with great developers and a great user base. Thank you, Xavier, for posting a very nicely balanced essay, a great rarity on the Internet. (-: And thank you, users and developers, for both contributing to such a fantastically wonderful tool. ~Chris -- Chris Maden, text nerd <URL: http://crism.maden.org/ > “Be wary of great leaders.
