Hi David, Lilypond only cares about whitespace. Tbas are not integral to the syntax, as they are in some programming languages. Why don't you consider using Frescobaldi? Its a very capable and good lilypond environment. I cant see why, given that it exists, anybody would use a crude text editor. I

Dear list. For my pianoscores I use a "dynamics voice" (\new Dynamics = "dynamics" \dynamics) and a "pedal voice" (\new Dynamics = "pedal" \pedal). On the whole they work perfectly but compared to dynamic marks attached to notes I find their possiblities a bit limited. The same goes for the pe
