My guess is that a large part of Lilypond mailing list messages deals with issues related to graphic output (lilypond is a sort of typesetting system, isn't it?) If this is correct I think emails would take advantage of inline images because these elements can make more clear messages. Attaching

I've searched the archives and the web generally; all that I have found on this subject leads me to believe that the facility I need is not there, which is perplexing since it's not particularly esoteric. Can someone either confirm my understanding or put me right? (I'm using 2.18.2 on a

Hi all, I’ve got a non-technical question regarding mode of pitch input. What does everyone prefer? Relative, absolute, or a mix of both? I’ve always stuck to relative, but I feel like I’ve hit a brick wall as far as fluency goes. I’m still quite slow at it, and I spend half of my time trying
