Well, there have been issues - and my fix for the keybindings in
multiple windows may not be as elegant as what Jean-Rene may have been
working on, and no-one has reported back on building with portaudio V19
(I guess you have that?).
But, yes, I think we should declare a code freeze for the release now,
and have a good hunt for anything broken.

Sometimes called an upbeat, or (in American, I think) a pickup. Or maybe
that is just girls :-)
Inside the code there is some sign that someone tried to do it, but at
the moment it is a LilyPond insert job, for which I have given an
example. You have to know how to express the length of the upbeat in
LilyPond-speak (so \partial 4 does a quarter note if I recall
correctly).

Same story, for a simple repeat bar line you do \bar ":|"
(and there are \bar ":|:" and \bar "||" as well). For a repeat with
first and second time bars you have to bracket the music with \repeat
volta 2 {  ..................... }
Again, see the examples and look at the LilyPond text window.

Once my custom LilyPond commands thing is working these will be commands
that you can keep in your menu-system and assign keypresses to.
