Ok. That's probably enough back and forth between you two. If you'd like
to continue to rant at each other, please take it offline. Thanks!
On a related note, I've found that looking at the various interface links shown at the bottom of the grob properties pages can lead to otherwise unknown definitions to cryptic properties. For example, on the Slur properties page (http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/internals/slur), you'll see the major properties' default values. However, the "details" property is just a list with no explanation. What to do now? You'll notice that there are a handful of interfaces shown at the bottom, including:
- grob-interface
- outside-staff-interface
- slur-interface
- spanner-interface
The properties come from these interfaces. If you click on the slur-interface link (http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/internals/slur_002dinterface), then you'll happily notice that each of the "detail" properties have a description. Whoa! I think you'll find this little tactic helpful in the future. Should there be a section about how to handle all the intricacies of slurs? Maybe... Probably? Either way, you now at least have more understanding as to what the properties mean. It may lead one of YOU to write the section about mastering slurs in every way... Or maybe a tutorial...
