Andrew,

Thanks. I'll give it a whirl. But where do I download it from? The LP web site 
doesn't offer anything more advances than 2.19.83.

Best regards,

Peter

Hi Peter,

It's pretty good. Lilypond suffers from the overly false modesty that all open 
source projects have, which is to declare development versions 'unstable'. 
Technically this may be accurate to say, but in practice I have found the 
development versions over many years to always be outstandingly good, a real 
tribute to the excellence of our developers. It's the same with version 
numbering in open source: modesty demands that some programs sit at version 0.9 
or so for up to even decades until proved utterly error free beyond all earthly 
standards.

Where's the harm in it? You can always install multiple versions side by side.

I'm asking because I need to assemble a score with different staff sizes 
(page-turning issues in piano music) and the bug I asked about yesterday is 
reportedly corrected. But I hate working with unstable software - I wrote 
enough of that in my programming days :)  And even more debugging someone 
else's software (reason - ditto).
