Well, it is a bug of the "we don't do it like that" kind that newbies are more likely to encounter than old hands. Of course, that we "don't do it like that" might be related to those problems having defied fixes for a number of years. > But it's fortunate that it has already been fixed! > > I had double-checked that 2.18.2 is the most current version by > checking that it is the version described in the documentation: > http://www.lilypond.org/website/manuals.html > > But I had forgotten that there is also an "unstable" release. Well, there were several changes in behavior in the last months so it actually deserves the name. It's rare that an unstable release is unusable. But that has also happened for some use cases. But if one does not mind updating somewhat more frequently (and, in the case of a personal emergency, paddling back), the unstable releases tend to be more user-friendly after some time than the stable ones. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
