I'd appreciate any thoughts on the following syntax for implementing footnotes with annotations:\criticalRemark \with { message = "my annotation" } #'(1 . 2) "my footnote" Slur a4_\the-footnote-hook ( ... vs. \criticalRemark \with { message = "my annotation" footnote-offset = #'(1 . 2) footnote-text = "my footnote" } Slur a4_\the-footnote-hook ( ...
The first is less keystrokes, but the second makes the code so much easier to read, that I prefer it. The keystrokes might be reduced by autocompletion in the editor.
vs. either of the above *without* the need for the footnote hook at all. I'm not totally sure how easy/possible it would be to automate the footnote by the presence of offset/text arguments, but I certainly think it would be work trying. Of course, I can see why taking away that need for a hook could also be considered somewhat intrusive of the package, so opinions *against* that would be good to hear.
It would be good to have a possibility of using the message as footnote-text, perhaps triggering the footnote through a boolean then. I would certainly prefer not to need a footnote hook; it seems somewhat redundant from a user’s perspective.
Best, Simon
