[Denemo-devel] Linking your Denemo score to the original source

[Richard Shann]

I have checked in an implementation of the "link to source" idea.
This means that when transcribing from a source such as a manuscript or
facsimile print you can mark places in your score with links to the
place in the manuscript that it comes from.
You do this by opening the source material (see Open menu) and clicking
on the point in the manuscript that the current measure belongs to.
Thereafter, when you open the file you can click on the link in that
measure to bring up the manuscript with the point highlighted.
So, no more losing your place when entering music - at any stage (every
line if you like) you can click on the manuscript and that marks the
current bar for future cross-referencing.
The link is actually output into the LilyPond, as a comment. Still to do
is to make the links relative - at the moment they will only work on the
machine they were created on (well, one with the sources in the same
place in the file system).

We really are ready for a release now!

I shall be testing this over the next few days. Please report any bugs
in any other parts of Denemo that you may come across.
