Honestly, regardless whether it is stylistically correct or not for a particular language, I prefer having a full stop at the end of an enumeration: It shows that it is complete. Compare this to `foo', `bar,' and ... with `foo,' `bar,' and ... AFAIK, the latter is the `correct' style for written English, but only the former is acceptable in computer sciences IMHO in case you are using plain text, and you are talking about variables and the such, since the comma character may be part of the variable name (as it can happen in Lisp or Scheme, for example).

You may need to restructure your input file, and/or check the
exact version of lilypond that you are using, but this is
certainly no problem in 2.11.

write score like Tchaikovsky
Hi, I want to add some verses above the score, like Tchaikovsky did in his The Seasons. Even more, I don't add them at the beginning of a piece, but at the beginning of a certain theme with or without pre line or page breaking. I know liypond-book can do it, but there seems to be no way for me to do his. the Latex is not for Windows, and Miktex website is blocked in China. I don't know whetherthere are other softwares can do it. Texinfo is for Unix and Cygwin, and my screen reader can't support cygwin or Uwin shell, and also, the lcommands I entered will not be responsed. Sometimes I entered markups, but they are limited to b follow a note or rest. If I use mutiple \score and insert markupsamong them without page break, Lily seems to consider it as errors. How can I do? Is there a software for pure Windows to work with Lilypond-book?

eps font embedding
I'm relatively new to Lilypond, and I love it! It makes so many things easier than in, say, Sibelius (which I have been using). I have a problem, though: I need to create some eps files with the fonts embedded in them (I think). The goal is to import the eps file into Adobe Illustrator. Whenever I try this, however, I get only stems and no noteheads. Is there something I need to specify in the ly file or at the command line in order to get the desired result? Does this lie within Lilypond's capabilities. I'm using Windows XP Pro and Lilypond 2.10.33. I'll be providing the files to someone who does not have Lilypond on her machine (a Macintosh).

Well, that's good news, you can do the way you want in English. In French and in Spanish, we'll stick with one period at the end of all lists; I'm tempted to do the same thing in English, but my opinion is definitely not valuable when it comes to English grammar :-p.

I think there's a bug in your version of git. For some reason, the commit doesn't include a @lilypond example.

Re: scheme function for staccato
Dear Reinhold,
many thanks for Your very usefull plugin. It works fine!
But there is one thing in the below quoted example I don't understand : Why
is the second g in the first measure an octave lower?
I'm sure, I don't see something, which is quite obvious, but I have no
idea.

The thing is that you apply the function to a SequentialMusic (i.e. a sequence
of notes inside {...} ), so adding the staccato there has no effect...
I suppose the easiest way is to use a music filter on the SequentialMusic,
which adds the ArticulationEvent to all EventChord descendents (but only if
the EventChord does not contain a rest!). An example is attached.
Cheers,
Reinhold

There probably is, but I don't know how (it would be easier with a \mark).
The simplest solution would be something like:
\override TextScript #'X-offset = #1.0

I'm not sure I understand what you're looking for. Do you want to put
the markup /vertically/ aligned with the NoteHead?

Feel free to have a look at commit c9cb25dee5d1019b325bbc9da6cf080124bcd0b6; comments appreciated. The shape of the corners can be changed using a #'corner-radius property that I had to make up.
