1. Hmm, I want to do something special. I'd better look in the Snippets. 2. Hmm, I want to print something special in the titles (i.e. the date and version number). I'd better look in Titles. 3. Great gallumphing gargantum giraffes! The VERY FIRST MAOING ITEM is "adding the current date to a score". Well, clearly those lilypond documentation people are utterly incompetent. http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/input/lsr/lilypond-snippets/Titles I will admit that "outputting the version number" appears in the Text list, rather than the titles. In fact, both snippets should appear in both Text and Titles, but currently they're only in one list. "Somebody" should fix this. Now, remember all those times I asked for volunteers for LSR, and all those times that you all said "yeah, it would be nice if somebody did that", and deleted those emails? Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. The current person responsible for LSR also happens to be the most active patch-reviewer. Do you *really* want me to ask him to stop working on patches (i.e. new features, bug fixes, etc) and waste his time playing web-2.0 games that anybody with TWO BLOODY WEEKS OF LILYPOND EXPERIENCE could do?! As I was saying yesterday, anything can be done if there's enough interest. The readers of lilypond-user have spoken (by not volunteering for this job) -- there is not sufficient interest in having better-organized snippets. Frankly, organizing snippets is one of the easiest, most fun ways to get involved. That was actually my first job in this project, and I'm utterly flabbergasted (and royally pissed) that nobody is interested in doing it. - Graham _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
