Hi Jeffrey, It's good to hear about your progress! Just a thought about modes...

***Final/"draft" Modes*** OpenLilyLib will ideally be used in final/draft/etc. modes in order to toggle between fancy/plain settings, or really whatever the user decides to work out. The idea is to be able to set/compile settings in either mode at the individual package level (i.e. scholarLY, etc.), and also to be able to toggle all-at-once by directing OLL's mode. And individual packages will have an additional optional setting to *keep* whatever mode regardless of OLL's mode, if so desired. The question here is about naming mostly. A `final` mode is ideally the *implicit* mode, so it doesn't have to be explicitly set (though it still could be). An alternative mode, `draft` would need to be turned on explicitly. There have apparently been discussions in the past particularly about the name "draft" (though I haven't found them in my search); in any case, I'd like to know what others think about that now, and of course the concept of this feature in general. Looking forward to your thoughts about these things, and to following-up with some test-drivable results in the near future.
For greater flexibility, would it be feasible to allow users to create and name any number of their own modes (rather than having two "hard-coded")? That's probably more complex to implement, but it would allow switching between 3 or more modes for whatever purpose. Again, just a thought...
Thanks for your good work! -Paul _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
