Hi Wol,
> What I'd like to see is worked, documented examples.
I’m happy to supply a few… But there are so many questions:
1. Where would they be kept?
2. How “rich” would the examples need to be, or not be? Even just a one-page
excerpt from my Passacaglia for String Quartet would require something on the
order of 20 separate files (stylesheets, general tweaks and functions, etc.),
which I think would be off-putting for someone just starting out.
3. How would questions of style (e.g., I am now a total crusader against
\relative mode) be resolved?
etc. etc. etc.
If this is to be part of the official documentation, I imagine it will be even
more difficult getting something like that approved than a code patch (which
has fairly rigorous “black-and-white” rules), which as you may know is
notoriously difficult to get approved.
> I also keep seeing a lot of stuff about "separating notes from layout".
> I try to do that, but again, a documented example would be great.
Again, happy to do it… once the questions are answered satisfactorily.
Best,
Kieren.
