I've been asking myself questions about how to do this for a bit...
It seems to me most natural the TeX would be having the last word (if
you'll look after the lame pun there),
and thereby lilypond should indirect somewhat its internal sense of page
numbering, so that some negotiation
can happen
Just wanted to say this is great

s variable with (list-copy
dtls) and a couple things like that, but I wasn't able to
affect the final result at all.
Could anybody help me understand what's going on please?

Hi Thomas,
maybe this can be handy: the `moreutils` package has a utility called `ts`,
that will prepend a timestamp to each line of output.
If you pipe the output of your compilation into it, you can get timing
information quite easily, here's an example:
% ls | ts -s "%H:%M:%.S"
00:00:00.13
Jean,
how many times did you run these tests?
Eyeballing your numbers it seems there's effectively no difference in
execution time opt/no-opt and 2.2/3.0.
Is the 5% a stable figure, or is it just a one-sample thing?
Would it be a passable inference that the reason the optimizer has
effectively no

Looks lovely to me.
I notice the inline source is not highlighted, is that on purpose?
(say 2.1.7, page 23). A lot of other text I've seen seems to use the same
highlighting patterns for running code as well as display boxes of code,

What if instead of `\upbeat` (which is weirdly named when used in the

`\partialMusic`?
It's backward compatible, does something easy to use in some simple

Leaving it to the compiler to find bugs for you is table stakes, it'll only
find the easy stuff anyways.
That should be your assumed starting point, not your goal:
your goal is attending to the community that does what's hard, so that you

of the deprecation and includes the new file, to maintain compatibility.
I'll now stop saying things everybody else already knows.

po,
it seems like we could easily find a better name for this file, more
descriptive of its purpose and less related to the original author.

s your proposal to implement \epsfile by using gs to render
EPS into a PNG,
and embed that into the resulting PDF.
I seem to have misunderstood something you said.

Hassan:
Even if self sufficient was a good goal (sometimes it is, some times it
isn't) it should be achieved by inclusion of other content, in this case
probably arabic.ly, so that fixes only need to happen in one place. The
objection here is to the duplication of the code, not to the
What if you use GS to do PS to PDF instead and embed that? Would Cairo let
you?
(For the PDF backend I mean)
Also, how does ImageMagick implement PS to PNG conversion? I wonder if
their approach might inspire us, or whether having an optional dependency
would be an idea to consider (if you have
moderately recent TeX distribution.

Sorry, luatex is like 10yrs old, what's the need for xetex again? Maybe I
could justify pdftex (I really don't quite see it, but maybe) but xetex
seems just arbitrary... Or do you mean for a transition period?
What's the oldest system that this Lilypond would be used on? What's the

Question: I would have thought locales would be a) largely present, b)
small and easy to install as dependencies, like many other dependencies we
have (and substantially less prone to change than any software dependency)
Where does the concern with locales not being available on a system come
I'd have thought au jour d'ui 227MB qualifies as small, no? It's averaging
at 500kB/package which is bigger than I thought (I'd have thought more like
50k tops, tbh) but it seems like it'd be a relatively manageable size for a
one-off setup...
A compiler or browser release or a couple weeks worth
That last statement is terrifying.
Is it sustainable to build a 2D dictionary keyed by platform and a name of
our choosing for the locale to use as a map and fill it gradually as we
discover new holes?
Or would it be too much hassle?
I'm thinking new platforms or new translations are events that
