Having had my share of gripes re the manuals I am now a "born again" supporter - they are great (not perfect) but great.
I recommend that you download all the relevant manuals as pdfs to a folder withing your Lilypond data file group and use the advanced search to check through all the manuals when you want some information. As an example I noticed that \markuplines now produces an error message - one quick search for \markuplines found the changes manual which explained a rename - took about 20 seconds (mostly slow grey cell time). The notation manual is particularly good - the learning manual is fine never seen a problem with writing exclusively in absolute. Like most normal people I find relative hard to get my head round and always end up with the wrong octave somewhere or other usually ending up beyond the range of the human ear. If you import music from other programs absolute is the way to go - why is relative favoured so much? Imagine reading a printed score if it used relative notation (if that were possible). regards Peter Gentry _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
