Thank you! > if I could ask users for any situations where they can imagine this > engraver helping, that currently don't work, or don't work easily. 1a. The "frenched score with ScoreMarks / MarkLine / whatever” use-case is my main one. (This use-case would, I assume, include “large time signature” lines, chord symbols, etc.?) 1b. Essentially identical — but not “marks” exactly — is the “dialogue” (TextLine) above/below a theatre work (e.g., musical, opera, narrated). Again, in a frenched score situation, that line should live and die with the “last context standing”. 2. The “divisi staves” use-case is also a primary feature/request for me. Similar/analogous use-cases: a two-stave harp part compressing (if necessary) to a single staff in the full score. To be honest, I can’t really think of any other significantly different use-cases at the moment… but I have no doubt that they’re out there, and if I think of one, I’ll be sure to let you know about it. Thanks! Can’t wait for this feature to be available “in the trenches". =) Kieren. ________________________________ Kieren MacMillan, composer ‣ website: www.kierenmacmillan.info ‣ email: [email protected] _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
