Gilberto, you misunderstood David. I know him long enough to be 100% sure that this is a misunderstanding: he most definitely didn't want to imply that you were lazy or trying to force people to do things for you. He was just giving you some advice. I'll write a more detailed answer, but i wanted to send this asap to make sure that the misunderstanding doesn't get worse. best, Janek _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
