[At the risk of sounding like a Web-addict geek (which I happen to be), this makes me think, again, of the HTML: whereas with HTML2/3/4 so far we only had the <div> that, that was used everywhere for everything without any sense of hierarchy whatsoever, in HTML5 they've added such tags as <header>,<article>, <section>, <aside> etc. that do not do anything new at all compared to <div>s, but do confer quite an elegant structure to the code.] (Granted, this post was useless, pedant, off-topic and hardly worth $0.2, but I believe it's quite appropriate in any 70-long mails discussion -- and counting :-) GLHF, Valentin _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
