Congratulations on 2.10. It is a great improvement. However there are some things that I would like to see better described. I will mention one here. In the News Changes section on the LilyPond website, the third bullet tells about a new feature, FretBoards. I can find no mention of it in the

I've searched through the package contents of the OS X version, and the input/test directory which is refered to in the manual doesn't seem to be there. Ok, I'm a big boy, I can download a source tarball like the best of them, but shouldn't this stuff be somewhere in the distribution? Or

Hey Graham. Thanks a lot for the reaction on this one and the 'hairpinToBarline'. If it helps in debugging: After a bit more investigation on the 'slurs', it seems that it is not (only?) the length of the notes but the barline in between the notes. The slur-algorithm seems to try to avoid any

Thank you very much! I already tried, but it doesn't work somehow. Are there any known bugs? Probably I just do something stupid. In the layout block I inserted this code: \context{ \Staff \override NoteCollision #'merge-differently-headed = ##t } It's rather strange, because it

Hi, In section D.4.1 of the manual for 2.8.7, there's nice example of a SATB score. In the example, the keyword \global is used in a way I cannot deduce from the docs. In short (please see the doc section for the full example): sopMusic = \relative c'' { ... } altoMusic = \relative c'' {

In section D.4.1 of the manual for 2.8.7, there's nice example of a SATB score. I think that's my contribution :) \global is not a keyword; it's defined at the top of the example, like this: global = { \key c \major \time 4/4 } In this case, omitting it makes no difference
