Re: Joram Berger's 'Visual LilyPond Index' revisited

Big thanks to Werner Lemberg for thoroughly updating (rewriting) the visual index which I once put here¹ as an easy way to access the LilyPond documentation. With some delay, I now merged this pull request², you can look at the latest PDF here³. So it is no »Christmas present« any longer, but for

Hi, I like the change in the bar number alignment. I have some comments to your proposal. (The current solution has similar issues, so most of these are not speaking against proposed changes.) The -> denotes the solution for which that is an argument. 1. putting the bar number over the measure

Hi Dan, as far as I understand (from experience with other projects), you can clone anonymously (and fetch without authentication then). If you want to be able to push, you need to authenticate and then you also need to authenticate for fetch or pull. A way around that is to use the ssh urls and u

Ubuntu 20.04 will come with LilyPond 2.20. Older releases are usually not updated after the release and will keep 2.18. Ubuntu 2.20 will probably be released tomorrow. https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/lilypond Frescobaldi will be 3.0.0 and not the latest 3.1.2: https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/

Re: What's up with the broken web pages?

Definitely a python2/3 issue. While python2 uses byte strings by default, strings are Unicode strings in python3 and byte strings need to be decoded first. Surely, you know that and the question is: which part of the website creation is not fully ported to python3. python2 [2.7.17] >>> 'abc', u'

FWIW, python has getattr and setattr which would perhaps suggest get_prop(grob, "property") and set_prop(grob, "property", VALUE) I am not a fan of "arbitrary abbreviations" and get_property and set_property are only 4 characters longer. So maybe I would choose the latter (modulo your naming conv
