Hi, While the new site may give a ”nicer” or more ”friendly” impression (depending on taste), I actually found it much harder to use, especially on a laptop screen where vertical space is limited: scrolling is needed for almost every action. While the old site may not be the most beautiful (although I have seen worse!), it is very functional, with good overview and almost all resources available with a single click from the first screen, without any scrolling.
So as a Lilypond user, I certainly prefer the old design, as function is far more important to me than design. But perhaps non-Lilypond users stumbling on the site are discouraged by the somewhat old-fashioned look? (OTOH, as someone pointed out, potential Lilypond users are probably already more or less deep into music typesetting, and hopefully would have a more deep perspective than just being deterred by the general website design). Would it thus make sense to have a public-facing ”front-page”, with the current (more ”traditional”) webpage easily accessible for those who are already using Lilypond? (I’m actually not convinced myself that this is a good idea, I just wanted to raise the question) Erik _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
