Hi all, i was very surprised by Marc's suggestion to revert his barline interface commit. I'm pretty sure that everyone regards Marc's (and Harm's) work in this area as very valuable and noone thinks of deleting it at all!
What I see are two issues: a) should we change the character that produces thick barline from . to something else? Personally i've never liked this design choice, so i'd be interested in making a simple poll on users- list with various options including . I = B U O 0 1 or whatever else may be reasonable. Note that this issue is completely independent from Marc's new bar line interface. b) should we define aliases for repeat barlines? I.e. make \bar ":|" a shorthand for \bar ":|." for the sake of user friendliness. My opinion is as follows: if repeat barlines "|:" ":|" (only dots and thin line, no thick line at all) aren't used in engraving practice (and i guess they aren't), lets make such an alias and mention it in the docs. User can always override it. best, Janek _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
