REWRITE
- overview of text entry: rename? Also, fill in.
- or possibly delete it?
A real-life example would be good to encourage the
reader to go further, and convince him the solution
to his particular problem will be found here.
It is a difficult section, and encouragement is
needed.
Well, there will be an inspirational headword eventually in 1.8 Text.
As for the Overview specifically, I take it this a vote in favor of
keeping it?
\fatText goes into @commonprop
There should be a distinction between simple
commands like this and the more arcane overrides
which expose scheme and LP internals. The former
are fine in the main text; the latter should be
in @commonprop.
Actually, \fatText _is_ simply an arcane override -- but one which the
developers thought was so common that they included a predefined
variable. Look in ly/propert-init.ly :
fatText = { \override TextScript #'extra-spacing-width = #'(0 . 0)
\override TextScript #'infinite-spacing-height = ##t }
There was a proposal to explain this in every single @commonprop
section, but I think it's better to include one GOOD explanation of this
kind of thing in the LM.
(let's put this specific question to rest for a few days; I promise we
will return to it)
Cheers,
- Graham
