Hello all, > the relative instead of absolute is less comfortable. But that's just me.
When I started with Lilypond (ca. 2003), I immediately latched on to relative coding, and found absolute coding difficult, confusing, and [I thought] a waste of time. Now that I’m cranking out very big scores (e.g., 50+ staves, 20+ movements), with lots of [potential] transpositions and code reuse, I am a fine-manual-thumping born-again Absolute-ist: I now code everything in absolute mode, and cannot believe how such a little change has improved my life. I know it’s easier for some people to “get” relative mode… but as a result of my experiences in the last year or so, I would get behind the idea of the ‘Pond encouraging absolute mode over relative mode (e.g., in all official documentation, etc.). But, as you say, “that’s just me”. =) All the best, Kieren. _______________________ Kieren MacMillan, composer www: <http://www.kierenmacmillan.info> email: i...@kierenmacmillan.info _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
