Re: Make Grid take an edit id

[Valentin Petzel]

Hello Jean,

Thank you for your input. We can of course use details for an id, that is 
true. A context name based approach would be thinkable, but maybe a bit 
complicated at times.

Similarly one could use an ID based approach like
\makeGrid id moment music
or something.

One important aspect of having an ID is being able to handle the produced 
grobs differently, as for example in the regtest file
https://vpetzel.gitlab.io/-/lilypond/-/jobs/1933942908/artifacts/test-results/
index.html
where one id is blue, one red.

Cheers,
Valentin
