Re: A couple of questions about Edition Engraver

I completely missed development1.ly, that is great! The way the proc is managed is particularly useful. It seemed to me that all the ingredients for a convenience function are already there. I am undecided on what the best interface for it would be though, since as Urs already mentioned there are

Re:A couple of questions about Edition Engraver

Thank you all for your responses to my original post, and for the ensuing discussion which I am following with great interest.  I shall not reply to each response individually, mainly because I have little to offer that would be constructive: I made my original post because it was my view as a

Re: A couple of questions about Edition Engraver

Re: A couple of questions about Edition Engraver

Hi David, Urs already answered. I understand your concerns about the input and I am always open for ideas to ease the input for the edition-engraver. Like Urs already mentioned your proposal will be difficult to implement because it doesn't use the standard parser schemes. But it sheds light

A couple of questions about Edition Engraver

As a newcomer to using Edition Engraver, and looking at the example files etc., I wondered why they were written with so much repetition.  "Perhaps it is just to keep things easy for newcomers like me to understand," I thought. So I experimented with reformatting using braces as Lilypond does,
