This was changed, maybe by accident, with another bug <http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1009> I searched and found only one complaint about the old behavior, a parenthetical remark in <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2009-04/msg00649.html> and there is a documented function to reduce g-triple-sharp to a-sharp when it is desired, so I proposed to back out that change. _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
