I see, ok this makes sense.
But still, is it really going to take 18 months for dependencies to pick up  
a change
in syntax? How did LilyPondTool cope with previous changes? Is there a  
protocol in
place? (E.g. we notify them in advance, they build the necessary changes in
preparation for our release, etc.)
It seems like we are going from one extreme (whenever) to the other (18  
months)...

I'm interested (as a work-around). Could you please let me know, perhaps in  
private
communication (just add @gmail.com)? Thanks.

Can you elaborate on your preference please? To me it seems like throwing  
away
backwards compatibility for no particular benefit. I agree we should  
deprecate, but
still support the old syntax, and get rid of it in the next major version.  
Seems
standard procedure for this kind of things...

Thanks.
