For example you might use Thomas' initial example as an example of modifying a stencil with scheme, and this could be on the page about stencils and the page about scheme code. And there you could link to things you can now do with this new scheme code, e.g. making a function out of it. I definitely wouldn't mind a higher level of hand-holding through some of the more complex parts of the manual. -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/cresc-whitespace-padding-tp152120p152191.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
