IS this to go along with the new scheme sections that recently came around too? School has me quite busy right now to the point that I haven't had time to update since 2.1.35 and unlike upgrading, (manual proof)reading is a slow process for me. I'm also deciding its time to learn dvorak so even typing is tedious for now.

Another wish is to have the possibility to select a double wavy line instead of the equals sign, indicating an approximative tempo value. I suggest to add a third, optional parameter which gives a textual representation (or whatever syntax is easy to parse). Examples: \tempo 2 = 92 "Andante \quarter \approx 92" \tempo 2 = 92 "Andante (\quarter = ca. 92)" Werner ___ Lilypond-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
