I would like to rename some directories and move some snippets. In

would prefer shorter and less redundant names.
\loadModule snippets.lyrics.align-on-vowels
is more convenient and expressive than
\loadModule snippets.notation-snippets.align-lyrics-on-vowels
etc.
The question is:
How many people are actually using the snippets repository, and how much
inconvenience would that be for these people. I *can* take some care
about "deprecating" and redirecting includes, but doing this generally
would actually make the whole thing totally convoluted. So actually I'd
prefer a clean cut and starting over with a new and cleaner structure.
Opinions? Objections?
No objections here. Seems like a job for some kind of versioning or
renaming of the snippets collection as a whole? ("snippets2"?) Then you
could preserve backwards compatibility and get your clean break.
Or... this may not be helpful... but would it work to just move the
contents of snippets out into their own modules, deprecating the
"snippets" grouping, but leaving it in place, as is, for now for
backwards compatibility? So then you'd have, say:
\loadModule lyrics.align-on-vowels
Not sure what the larger repercussions of this would be, as I haven't kept up
with how things are organized. Feel free to disregard.
