Well, returning to the topic in the subject line: on May 24th, my rally for funding my work on LilyPond had netted €165 for the month when I posted my guess that the bare minimum of €800 I needed for just subsisting would not be met this month. I have not yet corrected the balance with regard to payments intended for more than one month, but it turns out that the balance now is more like €1150. Even the subset of the subset of the subset that is reading this mailing list, vocal and opinionated or not, is making a difference for me, and certainly also for LilyPond. And a large part of this difference _is_ by being vocal and opinionated on this list. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
