I am the author of bagpipe.ly. Good to see someone looking over this all these years. I choose the "irritating" names a long time ago and used them without caring much if they represented correct terminology. I will have a thorough look at the suggested changes as soon as I can, but they do look reasonable. I am not sure about what user base we may have for bagpipe.ly, but I have had contact with some users at least. Extensive renaming of existing movements can of course easily be implemented by a convert-ly rule, but updating the user's memory of what to type to get the desired result is perhaps not quite as simple. -- Sven Axelsson ++++++++++[>++++++++++>+++++++++++>++++++++++>++++++ >++++<<<<<-]>++++.+.++++.>+++++.>+.<<-.>>+.>++++.<<. +++.>-.<<++.>>----.<++.>>>++++++.<<<<.>>++++.<----. _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
