B Series paper

B4 paper is readily available in Japan (Japan has an amazing riches of paper!). You can purchase it online through Rakuten Global Market: http://global.rakuten.com/en/category/303151 It's not cheap per sheet, but its certainly cheaper than buying 19 tonnes. HTH, Carl ___

how apt are comparisons to TeX/LaTeX?

In the context of the long discussions of what does lilypond need to do, I'm predisposed to try to think about it in terms of what (I think I) know about TeX/LaTeX. So the first question is: how much of lilypond's goals and design are based on TeX/LaTeX? Along these lines comes a series of o

Re: What is the problem with "\relative"? (Was: Do we really offer the future?)

Two small thoughts also from me: – I think the preference one will take also depends on musical style: a piece of renaissance vocal music uses so few leaps greater than a fourth that the advantage of relative in typing is huge and it’s ‘error-pronity’ small. On the other extreme, a piano piece
