one other thing - documentation

[rathcoffey]

(see previous post).  I found the Manual and the Notation Reference very helpful.  I just have a couple of suggestions.

 

The Command Summary which is part of Notation Reference (Appendix C, Cheat Sheet, page 545 ff.) could be extracted and made part of the short Guides.  Once I learned it was there, I found it in Notation Reference, printed it, and have been adding notes to it as I go along.  Very helpful to have it all in one place.  It would have been even more helpful if I had known about it sooner.

 

You could make these conventions explicit - I had to learn about them by trial and error. 

 

cis'4 is a valid command; cis4' is not.

 

 

 

c (d e f        %comment

 

g a)

 

causes an error, but

 

c(d e f

 

g a)           %measure 64

 

does not.  (the comment has to be outside of the paren.)

 

 

 

Thanks.
