Disagree. A "loose line" in typesetting is one with loose (as opposed to tight) spacing. Instead of "loose", I'd prefer "free", "wild", uhm "non-staff", "unattached" and likely a number of other expressions. But "loose" is really misleading. > CURRENT NAME PROPOSED NAME ALTERNATE PROPOSAL > ------------ ------------- ------------------ > next-staff staff-staff > default-next-staff default-staff-staff > > inter-staff loose-staff [nonstaff-staff] > inter-loose-line loose-loose [nonstaff-nonstaff] > non-affinity loose-nonaffinity [nonstaff-nonaffinity] > > between-staff inside-staffgroup > after-last-staff staffgroup-staff Systematic or not, the new naming scheme gets less descriptive and more ugly with every iteration. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
