Graham Percival a écrit :
Is it worth defining our own function
  replaceOnly("\\octave", ...)
which does
  re.sub("\\octave[?a-z,A-Z]", ...)
or whatever the regex was?

I imagine that almost every convert-ly rule would benefit from
"match this command, and only this command" rules, so this could
save typing.  And, more to the point, confusion amongst
non-regex-savvy people.
Good idea, but let's be careful with applying this function to existing rules: some of them may purposely contain no space at the end of the regular expression. Only people with huge LilyPond knoweledge or motivation to look around old documentation should edit existing rules to change this.

Any other thoughts?

John
