Serpent Publications

[Simon Albrecht]

Hello Laura,

I just had a look at your <http://serpentpublications.org> collection. 
Very nice project you have there! I like the concept of using parts and 
retaining the original ‘measure notation’. (Personally, I also think we 
might gain a lot by just turning to use the traditional c clefs again – 
it really helps polyphonic thinking in my eyes, and perhaps it wouldn’t 
pose much of a difficulty if one were used to them.)
Two small hints:
– You should really use proper lyric hyphens and extenders, like:
\lyricmode { ly -- ric __ }.
– Unfortunately, LilyPond’s default text font is quite wide, so perhaps 
you might want to look for a narrower one. Personally, I very much like 
the Alegreya font (which has a Sans version as well) from 
<http://fontsquirrel.com>.

But thanks for your work on this!
Yours, Simon
