Huh. <URL:http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/extending/lilypond-scheme-syntax> <URL:http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/extending/importing-scheme-in-lilypond> And it's not like those are not listed in the index: <URL:http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/extending/lilypond-index> > I have looked for a mention of it in the source for the parser, the > issue tracker and the commit history, all to no avail. Huh. We _do_ have actual documentation, not just information that can be tracked by experienced programmers. But then it seemed easy enough to find <URL:http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2024> which streamlined $ behavior inside and outside of #{ ... #} (it was previously only available inside, and with strange semantics). And that includes documentation. > Can you please supply some information for this feature, which I > believe you introduced, so that it can be documented. Perhaps you should explain what is wrong with the existing documentation. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
