Re: Opinions requested on deprecating "annotation" commands

[Urs Liska]

Hi Simon and Craig,

I think it's a good point. And since maybe I'll have to suffer more than anyone else ;-) I shouldn't wring my hands too much and just go for that.

There will be a Git tag referencing the latest state of the "old" interface, and it should be possible to use that for existing projects. Of course when someone wants to make use of the additional functionality they'd have to update their projects but for others this should at least work as long as LilyPond progress won't make things incompatible.

I'm happy to go with the consensus. Breaking any of my old documents won't be an issue for me, and I'm happy to defer to your expertise.

I’d vote for the latter. Better to make a clean cut, and there’s so much
potential in this, and the number of users seems to be limited until now
in my perspective – I may be wrong.

Best, Simon
