I think the browser is indeed a good analogy. If we have malformed HTML or even worse issues like e.g. a failed CSS include, then yes, we expect the browser to render as much and as nice as possible. But what LilyPond currently does is displaying a big modal over the page saying "I'm sorry but I couldn't render the page due to a fatal error. Please click here to close this message and view the page." _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
