Hi Lukas,

I will not vanish from the list/project in the foreseeable future,
unless hit by bus...

Though in my humble opinion meaningful error messages are the most
pressing issue and I don't see I could do anything to improve the
situation.
That is frustrating, furthermore I was stuck in a huge coding I could
not debug, because of those not-messages.
(I'll insert some german words now, not knowing them in english).
Every time I get such a not-message it feels like "Verarschung". At
the end of a day I feel not frustrated but realy pissed.

Sometimes writing about that is a possbility come down a bit, even at
the risk someone gives me a "Kopfnuss". ;)

Nevertheless, did you read
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2022-07/msg00234.html
?
Thanks Jean, I found a possibility to workaround.

That said, ...
It shouldn't be that hard to code with guilev2 in LilyPond.

Cheers,
  Harm
