Given that you know a lot about how various kinds of printed music are supposed to look, and have an interest in how the program works, I suggest you watch for interesting bug-reports, follow the resolutions, and compile lilypond and test the patches if you can set up a computer to do that. Often we have enhancement requests http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1503 that turn out not to be completely wise http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=4222 Sometimes the main question is one of how to design a feature to be useful http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1321 http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3279 _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
