I had cause to look into this recently and came across the following. 
Executive summary: everything is fine now and new SSDs last forever.

http://techreport.com/review/27909/the-ssd-endurance-experiment-theyre-all-dead

It's on the internet so it must be true :) (I expect more authoritative tests 
are available).

I'm using a hybrid 1TB in my laptop at the moment with no problems with Debian 
Stretch GNU/Linux as the only OS installed. These devices feature typically 
8GB or so of flash with the majority of the storage being on the whirlydisk. 
What the flash gets used for is up to the drive.

With no tweaking or setup, it appears to me to be much faster than the old 1TB 
drive (only whirly, no flash), which I replaced because of increasingly 
frequent heat-related failures after it been running for 4 hours or so.

Well, I don't exactly have a new SSD...

Well, I'll just stick with what I have until replacement is mandatory or
convenient.  And then I (or more likely the facts) can decide on the
parameters...

Re: Code for Slashed beam

[matpen3@gmail]

Hi Thomas,

thanks!

I’ve tried both your solutions; slashed-beam-02-2.ly 
 seems to work only with \acciaccatura (as 
http://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=721 
), whereas the old code provides 
slashes for normal notes (that’s what I was finding).
Is there maybe something I don't get?

Cheers.

Sorry…

It works with normal notes…

I’ll check it.
Thanks

Ties across different voices?

[Joshua Nichols]

I've run into the need to do this, and I can't quite figure out how to make
it happen. Please see the attached image.

Basically, for those who can't load it, I want to create a tie from a
"chord" into a "new voice." It's fairly common in classical literature, but
I am wondering if this is possible even, or yet.

Thanks!

​Sincerely,

Josh

I'm confused about how the image relates to what you want to do... Is it
showing what you want to do? Can you provide a tiny example to give us a
starting point? Happy to help. This isn't hard to fix.

Best,
Abraham

Re: Removing time signature from end of line

One minor point is that this comment is not totally accurate:

\defineBarLine "|-norepeat" #'("|" "" "|")   % End / Start / Middle of line


It is more like:

\defineBarLine "|-norepeat" #'("|" "" "|")   % "Middle-" (End / Start
/ Span)


The final argument defines what barline style appears in between staves (in
the context of a staff group), not the style of the barline when it is
mid-line.

The style of barline that appears mid-line is contained within the first
argument to \defineBarLine, which is actually a concatenation of:

1) The barline that appears when it is mid-line (in this case, "|")
2) The character "-"
3) The second half of the name of this custom barline (in this case,
"norepeat").


In the docs, this first (compound) argument is just described as "bartype":

Re: Ties across different voices?

[Andrew Bernard]

Hi Josh,

Essentially, lilypond does not do ties or slurs across voices. [As an
aside, this is a source of frustration for all [to be precise, it drives me
nuts! :-)], and some wonderful news is that we have a Google Summer of Code
scholar working on this very topic.]

So, there are several ways to do this in general. In the case of your
attached image, simply use voices to represent the chords, and the problem
dissolves. Note that i you do this you may have to shift note columns here
and there (\shiftOff in the example).

You can do tricks with hidden notes and so in, but as long as you have the
underlying understanding that you either work in the same voice for ties or
need to use some hideen note tricks, you should be fine.

Andrew
