Sounds to me like his main evidence is discretion.  There is always the
option to print what you want and make a footnote mentioning "Original
publication has ...".

The "Next 10" lists does not mention how many entries there are actually
(like when looking at the list of "Traditionals").  Nor is it possible
to go back, or forth other then to the next 10.

 Thanks for the specific target. I have wondered about this tolerance.

 A quick histogram of our current state gives this (pared down to the major
 revision numbers):

 versioncount
 -  --
 2.11
 2.25
 2.441
 2.697
 2.72
 2.8146
 2.916
 2.10   454
 2.11   308
 2.12   186
 2.13   27
 2.14   75
 2.16   314
 2.17   1
 2.18   209
 2.19   59

 Lots of work to do to get to the 2.8 area but nothing like the 2.10 - 2.12
 hurdle.

Syntax changes got progressively smaller and convert-ly got better.
Still, the numbers are not to be sneezed at.

 This update will clear 2 LilyPond revisions from the Mutopia Project
 catalog. At the start of these update projects the total count of LilyPond
 versions in use was 127 and we are currently at 97. Now that all pieces are
 now in the 2.* range so, hopefully, the update tasks should be easier.
 Obviously, careful review must be done as they are converted to newer
 revisions.

Current LilyPond executables refuse even trying to compile a file when
the version is older than 2.7.38.  While the probability of compiling
without running convert-ly is likely not fabulous and the number seems
somewhat arbitrary, it would appear to make for a nice milestone.

Re: [Mutopia-discuss] OK to use devel version of LilyPond?

Abel Cheung abelche...@gmail.com writes:

 I have just came across some scores that prove to be a bit problematic
 with current stable (2.18.2) version of LilyPond, but is fixed with
 newer devel version (most notable bug is 3304). Does mutopia accept
 scores using devel version?

Issue 3304 is: Unequal spacing in odd n-tuplet with other simultaneous 
subdivisions

That does not concern input syntax so you could still upload the source
file with a \version 2.18.2 header (possibly with a comment after it
that 2.19.whatever yields preferable spacing) while producing the PDF
using 2.19.whatever.

 Hi

 I've updated this file:
 http://www.mutopiaproject.org/cgibin/piece-info.cgi?id=110

 Can you review it?
 My main concern is how to deal with string numbers.
 I'll comment TabStaff before comitting it, but I want TabStaff to work
 fine so I must specify the string to get the right fret number. This
 produces a lot of string numbers. How to deal with that?

If you don't need *any* string numbers, you can just use
\new Staff \with { \omit StringNumber } { ... }

Re: [Mutopia-discuss] spurious git diff

 Hi all

 I think that a good practice to ancourage and ease the review of
 updates is splitting a pull request in at least two commits: one for
 the initial convert-ly and the second for the manual changes.

 I think it may be added to the wiki page:
 https://github.com/chrissawer/The-Mutopia-Project/wiki/Updating-Lilypond-files-for-the-Mutopia-Project

 I have a question: do you know why git diff after convert-ly doesn't
 show a proper diff line by line? I've already read a complain about
 this from Keith on lilypond-user, pointing to this commit:
 https://github.com/chrissawer/The-Mutopia-Project/commit/81a588f5d16a3bcb4110bd1e8197dbdc5a08137e

Uh, different file names _with_ changed content and without options
detecting more than renames on unchanged blobs?

 Can I run iconv on it, right?
 This again will break the diff (see previous thread), but it's
 needed. One more thing to add to the wiki? If you give me the ok, I
 can edit the page myself.

 I can convert with Gedit. However, what's wrong with the following
 commands?

 $ iconv -f US-ASCII -t UTF-8 ftp/ScriabinA/O59/prelude/prelude.ly 
 ftp/ScriabinA/O59/prelude/prelude.ly

Same output and input file.  The output redirection operator truncates
the output file to be empty before iconv is run, so it just converts an
empty file.

 I've tried also recode, but it doesn't work:

 $ recode -v UTF-8 ftp/ScriabinA/O59/prelude/prelude.ly
 Request: UTF-8..:libiconv:..CHAR
 Shrunk to: UTF-8..CHAR
 Recoding ftp/ScriabinA/O59/prelude/prelude.ly... done
 $ file -bi ftp/ScriabinA/O59/prelude/prelude.ly
 text/plain; charset=us-ascii

US-ASCII is a subset of UTF-8, so there is nothing to convert here.

What you want is

recode tex..utf-8

here.  The problem is that there are things like avec d\\'efi here
which get turned into avec d\éfi because of the doubled backslash.  At
any rate, you should probably look at _all_ \\ sequences first.  There
is a lot of TeX stuff in there that will stop working, not just accents.
