I'll try to round up a volunteer to modify the input/* snippets to use music functions instead of \applyMusic; failing that, I'll do it myself. Assuming that gets done, I can safely delete the entire OLD STUFF section. Cheers, - Graham ___ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel

So it is sort of useless now, unless I'm missing something. Keep sections on \applyContext and \applyOutput, because they have nothing to do with music expressions, they apply to other types of objects. nicolas ___ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel

Re: Scheme chapter: material for deletion
In that case, make sure to also delete the examples in input/*/ that use \applyMusic, otherwise you will cause some confusion (of course, some of these examples may be useful and should preferably be rewritten as music functions instead). /Mats Graham Percival wrote: I believe that the material in section 11.6 http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.9/Documentation/user/lilypond/OLD- STUFF.html#OLD-STUFF is either hopelessly out of date or irrelevant (due to #(define-music-function)).
