I see, and totally agree. It's not easy to manage many emails with real-bugs reports or false-bugs. But an answer like "read the manual" is neither a friendly answer nor an answer at all. I prepared a score with lilypond and the celloist missed one note because of this problem, so I thought it could be a good idea to discuss this behaviour on the list. This is the reason my i went into a grumpy mood when you answered "try to live with it", because it would end the discussion with no solution, or no real conclusion. >I think your example on how weird accidental rules seem in > some places is very good.

I don't understand what you mean, you say accidental rules seem weird in some places, but should remain as they are. Why? -The only rule to be adjusted is "don't let the over-the-bar rule turn off the implicit "!" obtained by alternations in the same bar" -And to make it still better: "forget the alteration after n bars" ___ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel

What I try to tell you is that working with list mail may be time consuming for developers and sentences like "Anyway the problem is still more annoying," may better be stated as: "Anyway it looks inappropriate to me that [...]" I hope you get the point: friendly and positive mail-tone is essential for a mail-list cooperation. Do not assume that I do not want to understand your point. And excuse me if I am wrong, after all I (or others) could be helped to understand what you mean. Also excuse me if this is not the best way to help reaching a friendly atmosphere on this mail-list; I am trying as hard as I can but I may fail. I think your example on how weird accidental rules seem in some places is very good. Accidentals may seem odd even if it is the correct way these accidentals are placed. I do not think that the developers should change the accidental-rules. -- http://d-axel.dk/ -- Donald Axel, Consultant -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
