RE: AllAbout Examples

[Fairchild]

Trevor -

I commented the point-and-click and resubmitted; failed again.

Don't know what to do about the def-music-function.

Seems that LSR won't accept 2.4.6.

Just wending through the LSR screens to submit is painful, then failing
without reason is discouraging.

More reasons for a mainstream repository.  Why not simply provide a place to
post the .ly source and the resulting .pdf?

Hi Bruce,

AAAlternateScaling.ly looks really interesting; interpreting it with 2.9.9
gives ...

Sat Jun 24 14:23:50 CDT 2006
GNU LilyPond 2.9.9
Processing `AAAlternateScaling.ly'
Parsing...
error: Incorrect lilypond version: 2.4.6 (2.7.38, 2.9.9)
error: Consider updating the input with the convert-ly script
warning: deprecated function called: ly:set-point-and-click
ERROR: Unbound variable: def-music-function

... which must be because the source is 2.4.6.

Is there a 2.9.9 version of the source, or a pdf?
