Hi David, I only see two bug reports from you that I haven't entered; one was on Oct 4. (and was eventually addressed by Patrick) and another on Oct 19 (the bracket thingy). I do remember not having dealt with the column-message-thingy-report because it differed a bit from 'regular' LilyPond reports. (That doesn't make it an irrelevant report, it just means I would have required a little extra time to deal with it, which I didn't have.) > It is demotivating to invest the work for boiling down a problem into a > small example, write up a good description for it, mail it to the list > and not even get it filed into the bug database, let alone deserve an > answer. As I told Graham on -user, I am pretty sure I have never lost a single report in the past couple of years. Bug reports are never "ignored", even though it may take (quite) some time to file them. Do feel free to send a report update if a particular issue is important to you; it may encourage me to add it more quickly into the tracker, but unfortunately it may not imply that developers will address it any sooner.
