Re: showLastLength as a command-line option?

[Jonathan Kulp]

Thanks for replying, Han-Wen.  I can't find showLastLength anywhere in 
that file, though.  Searches for showlast and show-last came up empty. 
It looks like the file is inside the SCM directory but I can't tell 
where.  Here's the search I did:

address@hidden:/usr/local/share/lilypond/2.11.59/scm$ cat *.scm | grep 
-i showlast
     LENGTHOF(\\showLastLength)
      ((show-last  (ly:parser-lookup parser 'showLastLength)))

So it shows that showLastLength is there, but it doesn't say which file 
it's in (my skills at the shell are such that I don't know how to make 
it tell me this.  Sigh...).  Can you tell from this output where it is?
