It's more like "you increase your chances for a useful answer a lot if you provide complete, compilable examples since then anybody inclined to help does not run out of steam while trying to reconstruct what you actually were doing." Most of the people providing the most useful answers have spent extraordinary amounts of time over the years helping other people on the list. If you don't present them with a boring, tedious, repetitive, fruit- and pointless task before they can even start, you'll increase their quality of life. Or they'll increase it themselves by deciding not to answer. Sometimes you'll still get an answer, from someone feeling particularly nice, or someone who hasn't yet grown tired of doing additional work in order to help, maybe because he feels it impolite to remind people of providing as much help for helping them as makes sense. But this kind of extra eager and polite helpers tends to change or disappear sooner or later. So it's better to try not to rely on such eagerness. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
