I vaguely fear so.  In spite of the Bug Squad's importance I've been
lousy at keeping track of it and motivating people.  So I suspect people
dropped out of the Squad silently because of not feeling useful or
appreciated.  I sure hope my vague handwavy impression will be proven
wrong here...

Organization/mentoring have not been done in an organized manner but by
people picking up requests and pieces as they saw fit.  Or not.

The organizational sections of the documentation have not seen much of
an update.  More work has been invested in what one may call the
self-help material.

You'll probably be able to pick up annoyingly close to where you stepped
off.

Translations are not up to date apart from Romance languages: French,
Italian, Catalan are kept up pretty actively.

Well, it will certainly be welcome.  Just keep tabs on how you are
faring.  You'll have one nay-sayer less around, but LilyPond is still
not a lightweight to swing about.

Great!  Welcome back!  We've missed you!

I've added you to SF as a Developer (gives you Read, Create, Update
permissions for the LP Issues at 
https://sourceforge.net/p/testlilyissues/issues/ ).

Not a lot has changed.  Most of the usual suspects are still here,
although many (including me) are often in lurking mode.

Other than maintenance the docs have not moved forward much :(

I'm sure it will.  I found singing in fully staged musicals and 
opera was both enjoyable and very therapeutic for overcoming shyness
and lack of confidence in company.  Everyone else is so extrovert it
was catching!

Stepping up, contributor mentoring

[Graham Percival]

Hi all, I'm back.

So, are there any vacancies on the Bug Squad?  I've signed up for
sourceforge (username: gperciva).  Other than that, my primary
interest remains in organization / mentoring new contributors.
Has anything changed in regards to that in the past four years?
Or shall I jump straight in?  I see that "Contributor 1.4 Mentors"
hasn't changed.

Anything else I should know?  I've skimmed the past month of this
mailing list.


(I was planning on waiting until the new year, but David's news
made me re-evaluate my health now, and I think I have the energy
to take on more stuff.  To make a long story short: depression,
burnout, quit academia, moved back to Vancouver, recovery.  Also,
started ballroom and swing dancing!  Great fun, absolutely
recommended, *especially* for other shy, socially anxious computer
geeks.  Despite that help, I'm still not 100% recovered, but I'm
content with my progress, and I think that doing more volunteer
work will help.)


Cheers,
- Graham

The changes look fine to me.
Maybe only check the indentation to see if it follows the current style
(3 spaces?).

However AFAICS this patch only fixes warnings, not actual bugs, so this
is not urgent.

Have you decided how to handle the updates to the dev/guile-2-work
branch?

Ciao,
   Antonio

Added to the TODO (latest version here:
https://ao2.it/tmp/lilypond-guile2/TODO), however I am not sure when
I'll be able to take a look.

I think I saw a similar issue when using -dread-file-list with wide
characters in file names. Not sure if the cause is the same, tho.

[PATCH] musicxml2ly fix for lyrics when chord is present (fixes 61e)

[Vincent Le Ligeour]

Hello,

This patch should fix the musicxml regression tests that have both lyrics
and chords (for example 61e).
As commented in the patch I did not find any documentation if a chord
element can contain multiple lyrics, so I just assumed that the first note
of the chord contained the lyrics (consistant with Finale and Muscore
exports).

Regards

Vincent
