Re: How should 'programming error' messages be tracked

[Mats Bengtsson]

Please always tell what LilyPond version you use.
A "programming error" is a bug, per definition, so in principle
you should always send a message to address@hidden when you
see such output from LilyPond. However, it is very common to get
there "programming errors", at least in the so-called stable version
so you could just ignore it.
