It does not match the workflow he designed around the _graphic_ behavior of unexpanded \repeat volta . He is not scoring correctness but personal convenience. That may be frustrating for the programmers of LilyPond in this case, but most certainly convenience scores high for a program for which the main criticism is the awkwardness of its entry. And there have been a lot of improvements recently (fixing q to become reliable, allowing c2~1~8. for duration entry, the \beamExceptions command, \fixed entry and other stuff) with regard to making input more convenient. I don't see him crossing this not-so-well-definable (in the context of how LilyPond represents music) item from his personal wish list, but I don't see anyone else crossing this item from his personal wish list either. Sometimes what you have is all you'll get. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
