Thanks, David - for the heads up about Emacs Lilypond mode! I don't use Emacs for everything, but I do use it for a lot of things; and certainly for anything involving text (like Lilypond) it's my standard go-to. But what is it about the Lilypond mode which is so abominable? I just use it

Hi Ken, If you want to have a repeat with no alternative just do not use \alternative. Doing \repeat something 0 does not do anything. The repeat-count property must be at least 1, if you give 0 it defaults to 1. Of course doing \repeat volta 1 would also be rather stupid, as this would

Hi Jean; It is obvious that I still have a lot to learn about Lilypond. I'm very grateful for the work you all do in making Lilypond so awesome, but also the support on this mailing list is superb! Thanks so much for your patience with this newbie! Ken On Wed, Jan 12, 2022 at 3:00 PM Jean

Hi; Is there a bug in the Lilypond parser regarding bar checks? It would be nice if Lilypond would let me know more specifically where this warning occurred, shouldn't it know? I don't see the error in my engraving that would cause this and I'm having trouble using the 8/16/24/32 to

You might be interested in python-ly (https://python-ly.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) which is actually written by the Frescobaldi developers and used within it. This provides a command-line tool that can do transposition (and more) and shouldn't be too hard to use from within Emacs. At 05:06
