Nothing to do with either of those - after a series of difficult conversations
on the developer list, I informed the community that I’d be taking time off the
project:
http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Re-stencil-integral-use-box-extents-specified-in-markup-issue-3255-issue-9295044-td149952.html
This was about a patch that ultimately made its way into the code base
(a6efcfa82dae01859f0d6d3bbfbaaa6f2eeb8a9c, modified and pushed by Keith
O’Hara). I made this decision after having asked several times to keep the
communication between developers cordial and collegial.
Insofar as I do not believe I am the only person who has run into this issue, I
think this is a hindrance to LilyPond development that needs to be addressed by
the community.
Cheers,
MS
P.S. I changed the subject of this thread because I am now addressing a
different issue. I do not want this message to be construed in any way as an
advisement against supporting David being paid for his valuable and essential
contributions to LilyPond.
