GDP: tutorial @seealso links

2007-10-19 Thread Graham Percival
Hi all, I updated Learning Manual 2.1.2 to use the same @seealso format as the notation reference. You can see the old method in 2.2.1, and actually the rest of the section for now. I'd like to change all the @seealso sections to match 2.1.2. Does anybody have a huge objection to this?

There is a much easier way to do this thant I originally imagined. I enclosed the function that I came up with and a snippet to demonstrate. When you compile, note that the only problem is that the alignment behavior of the ReheasalMarks is undesirable, due to the ReheasalMark being moved to the

Hi Mats et al, (RE: this bug: http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=432) Moving Break_align_engraver to the Staff context works to get the correct alignment of RehearsalMarks, but the side effect is that if there is a mid-system Clef change in one Staff and not another, you get a bro
