Yes, it is exactly that! I looked into the tracker but did not find this issue. Typing "<< \\ >>" into the search bar gives 493 and I must have missed it! > Please repost your mail as a comment there, I think it will be more > appropriate, useful and (possibly) efficient :-) Actually I'm sad when I see this issue is tagged "Type-Enhancement" and "Priority-Postponed". >From a user point of view it is really a "HIGH annoyance" issue, since it obliges me (the user) to use the "explicitly instantiating voices", with a syntax far heavier (and more complex, less user-friendly). When you have to use it a lot in a score you would have preferred the "<< \\ >> construct" *Did The Right Thing*. And besides I see other issues that are *not* postponed and have a far higher priority level that are issues purely "hypothetical" that have almost no chances to appear in "real-world" scores. Sorry to grumble in a non-constrictive way. @Graham Maybe you could add a point about "issue priorities" and/or "highest wanted (by users) features". We could have a kind of "polling system" to determine what are the features/issues that are really wanted by users. And also a point about bounties/sponsors in relation (there are people on the french mailing list that wants to donate to the project but it currently lacks a structure to manage these donations).
