Dear Graham, The job you've done looks very nice. One thing caught my eye, though. I don't quite get the idea of one image under 1.1.3 Displaying pitches namely Clef. If the image tries to point out the location of the middle C on each staff / clef why there is an F on the lowest staff?

Please let me know if this is going to be sponsored, I'd consider participating. This all has a close relation with my problem stated earlier in this list. I'd like e.g. - Tell a lyrics to offset only if it is necessary, or - Tell a lyrics to offset vertically only up to the end of the current

I am working on splitting the pitch into pitchclass and pitch. - Pitchclasses not containing octave information. I am not nearly finished with this, and perhaps the whole thing will be rejected. But I think it would be a shame to do a lot of work on the Pitch documentation just before a change

How would this affect the user interface? I got the impression that it was mostly a matter of the internal representation in the implementation. /Mats Rune Zedeler wrote: I am working on splitting the pitch into pitchclass and pitch. - Pitchclasses not containing octave information. I am not

A few minor comments: - Why are the links to the Program reference of LedgerLineSpanner and NoteHead in the subsection on Accidentals? To me it would be just as intuitive (or non-intuitive) to have these links some other of subsubsections of 1.1 Pitches, or even in 1.1 Pitches itself. The

GDP: html sections

2007-10-17 Thread Graham Percival
It is true that second-level titles like 1.1 Pitches do not contain any useful information; that is not likely to change. (I should explicitly state this in the doc policy, though.) The intent was for 1.1.1 Writing pitches to be a single HTML page, including all the @unnumberedsubsubsec.

Re: GDP: links to other doc sections

2007-10-17 Thread Graham Percival
It was originally written this way, but I would rather keep all the links in the @seealso section at the bottom. If we absolutely must include some links in the main text, I suppose we could... but I am not (yet) convinced that this is one such case. I've flagged this as an issue for rewriting.

I believe I saw this previously reported, but haven't found the discussion (or a temporary resolution). An 8th followed by a 16th rest and 2 or more 16th notes results in the bar extending to the left of the first 16th note. In the following snippet, the first group is logical; the beam
