text-input page: what about using SVG and switch element?
Hi, how would you feel about using SVG images and the switch element in the text-input page? http://lilypond.org/text-input.html Pro: - we could get rid of many .png files for all the translated languages - maintaining translations would be much easier Con: - browser support? http://www.codedread.com/svg-support.php In 2007 Graham was against using SVG, because of limmited browser support: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2007-04/msg00087.html 5 years later, something has changed? Find attached a small draft. Translated languages are it, es, hu, de, nl, fr. If your system language is one of these languages, you should see the translated text; otherwise the text will fall back to english. I've tested it on Chromium 16 and Firefox 10 and it's working fine. Can anyone test it on IE9? Of course, if we care about people using IE8, probably we'll have to wait for IE9 to replace it. Cheers, Federico Title: LilyPond – Music notation for everyone: Text input It’s as simple as A B C Notes are encoded with letters and numbers. Special commands are entered with backslashes. Alterations are made with different names: add -is for sharp, and -es for flat (these are Dutch note names, other languages are available). LilyPond figures out where to put accidentals. Pop music Put chords and lyrics together to get a lead sheet: Orchestral parts The input file contains the notes of piece of music. Score and parts can be made from a single input file, so that changing a note always affects the score and parts. To be able to include the same music in multiple places, the music is assigned to a “variable” (a name). This variable is then used in a single part (here transposed, with condensed rests spanning several measures): The same variable is used in the full score (here in concert pitch): attachment: text-input-1-annotate.manual.svgattachment: text-input-1-output.png___ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel

In the past month, we had 2,482 visits from people using ie 8, 332 visits from ie7, 145 from ie 6, and 1 from ie 5.23. IE 9.0 comprised 43% of all ie-using visits. I don't think we should change yet. - Graham ___ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel

2012/2/27 Francisco Vila paconet@gmail.com: Interesting. A Con: to view it in another language you must change the system setting, right? Yes, in a browser it's probably the only way. I've tried using the LANG variable, but it doesn't work. Another way is using Squiggle. Install the package libbatik-java Then launch squiggle from a terminal and open the SVG file. In the preferences you can set the language. NOTE: You have to delete any other language and put just the one you want to see. Having the desired language on top of a list of languages doesn't work. Then reload the file. ___ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
