ah, but sight-reading doesn't have anything to do with this. After reading (tens of) thousands of LilyPond emails, we (or at least I) have developed a habit (actually sort of a 'conditioned response') of grabbing the code from an email, pasting it into an editor and running lilypond on that file. if the compilation fails, our brains say "no output to view, nothing to do. continue to next email" (regardless of what's in the actual code) and that's it. So, even though i can read lilypond code pretty well, my brain doesn't want to. it wants to view an image. cheers, janek _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
