For me, it's not the Italian part, it's the "musical" part, that is, what do I see when I read the music. The fact that it is Italian is secondary. That being said, the \fine command is a bit weird, because it could be confused with the English word "fine" meaning "OK" (or perhaps even "punitive charge"). So I think it is better to follow your suggestion and use all English words, and I think my preferred choice is \end. Thanks, Carl In rehearsals, at least in the US, going over these markings is called going over the roadmap. The 'taking a trip' metaphor is also built into 'depart' It also seems like the commands should have some consistency, so whatever is chosen, they should share a root. Also, the more typical English to match 'depart' might be 'resume'. So, I'd offer the suggestion: \roadmapDepart \roadmapResume \roadmapEnd _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
