Hi James,
Currently we have snippets about DynamicTextSpanner both in
NR 1.3.1 Expressive marks attached to notes Dynamics and in
NR 1.8.1 Writing text Text spanners .
It would be more consistent to have everything about DynamicTextSpanner
in the same section of the NR, i.e. NR 1.3.1, with a cross-reference
to this section in NR 1.8.1. But that would make a lot of snippets
about dynamics together.
Why not make a specific section of NR 1. Musical notation about
dynamics (e.g NR 1.3 Dynamics , containing what is currently in
Dynamics and New dynamic marks + the snippets moved from NR 1.8.1),
and another section for the other expressive marks attached to notes
(NR 1.4 Expressive marks attached to notes containing in the order
Articulations and ornamentations, Trills, Slurs, Breath marks,
Falls and doits, Glissando, Arpeggio)?
I'd suggest something like:
NR 1.3 Dynamics
1.3.1 Dynamic marks
1.3.2 Hairpins
1.3.3 Dynamic text spanners
1.3.4 New dynamic marks
1.3.5 Custom dynamic text spanners
NR 1.4 Expressive marks
1.4.1 Articulations and ornamentations
Articulations and ornamentations, Trills (with trills together)
1.4.2 Curves
Slurs (with a warning cross-ref about ties), Phrasing slurs,
Breath marks, Falls and doits
1.4.3 Lines
Glissando, Arpeggio (but not trills here)
We could add something about the horizontal line that means
keep the finger, keep the position or stay on the same string.
What do you think?
I think we need to have some feedback from Graham the Doc Meister and
Trevor (who both did most of the Documentation).
Then assuming this has approval then we need a tracker (or 2, maybe 3)
to manage this, it certainly won't be something we should be doing in
a single patch.
It looks nice on paper, but when you get down to it - as I started to with
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1287
It isn't as trivial as you think - and can end up a lot of work, and
while I understand the request, there are more pressing items I think
we need to do with the doc before we start to move huge sections
around.
I'd personally like to get the the 50% or so of the current tracker
items done first
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/list?can=2q=type=Documentationcolspec=IDsort=priorityx=typey=prioritycells=tilesmode=grid
If you can help on any of these that would be useful.
