I have a "best practices" question. I've noticed while looking at snippets
in the LIlyPond docs and the code of experienced writers, that they will
write things like
\override Parentheses.font-size = #-4
with a pound sign before the number, while writing
\override Parentheses.font-size = -4
produces no error or warning. But is it the best practice? Other examples:
\clef "bass"
I've always written bass with no quotes. Also:
\tag #'layout
where \tag layout seems to work fine. I don't want to write extra
characters, but I also want to write clear code. What are your thoughts?
