For my part I just move everything to a lillypond-user folder now and
its equivalent to me. I was fairly busy yesterday and unable to reply,
but the thread has seen a lot of activity so. Let me try.
The first two
From Carl:
You may want to consider having a chord and tweaking the note head of
one of
the notes (i.e., you can have a 1/4 note chord and tweak the note head of
one of the notes to be a 1/2 note head.)
Thank you for this it is the solution I finally took. I would not have
thought about it on my own.
Not sure exactly what you want here, but Chopin's
piano music is full of chords containing notes of
differing duration. There's an extended example of
how to deal with them in the Learning Manual. Have
a look at section 4.5.3 Real music example to see
if that helps solve your problem.

Also a big help. I have most of the source now. Planning on reviewing it
Friday before I start back on the work. I have recived got several ideas
on better methods for marking off sections of music. I will look in to
them over the weekend and post some feed back on each.
I missed a few emails in this thread so I switched Thunderbird to
threaded view. It doesn't bug me to use multiple folders, But it can get
rather clunky. Graham brings up a good point about screen size. I work
on a 17 inch laptop most of the time which I regularly hook up to a
22inch LCD screen when in my lab. So, to me screen space isn't an issue
and I often forget about people who need to work with larger fonts or
prefer to check email on smaller devices phones/netbooks etc.
procmail is not a bad idea. I am an IMAP user so I will have to think
about it. The length of this thread actually makes me wonder if just
writing a thunderbird extension would be worth the time. I'm still in
the camp that I prefer the list name appended to the subject. I think it
makes the emails look less personal, but that doesn't mean everyone
should be forced to use them.

I've noticed this for a while with lilypond-user - like you, it's one

Colin's suggestion of filter rules to put things in different folders
is fine, but that approach just doesn't work too well for me. I prefer
to read (or at least scan) everything as it comes in - if the email's
automatically sent off to another folder, I find I can just forget to
check that folder.
Just had a look at the options available in TB rule-triggered actions:
Move message to
Copy message to
Forward message to
Reply with template
Mark as read ( left unread by default)
Add star
Set priority to
Tag message
and others.
You can probably set up quite a sophisticated filtering system with a
few mouse clicks: have some messages go to a folder (the folder name
gets bolded while it contains unread mail, which is the visual cue to
look in the folder), a subset of those messages could light up in a
category relevant colour, others get copied to folder 2, still others
get forwarded and deleted. The whole thing would become a very fast way
of scanning your mail for noteworthy (oops, I meant LilyPond!) related
stuff.
