And ‘regular.ly’ or ‘definitions.ily’ (really!) are quite commonplace filenames. I don’t know how many dozen files called ‘definitions.ily’ might be in OpenLilyLib.I’ll send you them in private mail
There’s no point in that. Personally, I have no interest in Arabic music.
So I’m sorry, but speaking of a ‘rant’ is somewhat of an overstatement. In the ly-user post of mine that you quoted I spoke of a ‘concise’ request. Perhaps you try and make one.Just have the files and font included in the LilyPond distribution, as they seem to work.
‘They seem to work’ is not a criterion for inclusion in LilyPond. The question is if they meet standards of both notation and coding _and_ are of sufficiently general interest. And most importantly they will only be included in LilyPond if someone does the coding and documentation and uploads a patch, following the standard procedures. If no developer is interested in doing so, then it will not happen – that’s how LilyPond development works.
Best, Simon
