It's not just that: most Windows users aren't actively participating on the lists, either. I have asked several times on one of the lists what the result of exit(0) inside of the Python we deliver with Windows (?) would be. Should not be too hard, but no response. It's not clear to me what version of Python we actually deliver (and I was apparently pointed to the wrong GUB repository for finding that out the hard way by looking at the source). So it would appear that we still deliver a broken version of LilyPond-book in 2.18.2 since no Windows users are interested in it enough that we would have gotten a report about it in the month that it was available in the developer releases. At the current rate, it will take half a year or longer before we get this fixed. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
