Sorry you're unhappy that I would like to have it back. I am annoyed that you state you have missed it every single of the 2000+ days it has been gone without so much as once mentioning it and _now_ paint this as the fault of the developers. > It is clear that 2.20 is in the process of being hardened and that > your work on the code at this point is for the future. > > I am not insisting on having this option; I do think it valuable.

In this particular case, I don't think the terms in which the value is written as being useful. An adaptive solution choosing a step width (which does not need to uniform either) based on the curve shape, like we do with the outlines of letters, seems preferable to a subdivision into a fixed number of segments since the latter will always render some slurs with a much finer grain than others. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
