Re: LSR search interface: syntax errors

[Andrew Bernard]

Hi Simon,

I don't think you can. I have tried this type of search in the past.

I think the search engine is written by the chap who hosts LSR. Maybe we have to write to him. A read of the search engine manual revealed nothing of any use. Apparently it cannot deal with punctuation characters, although there is no mention of this being denied, on a surface scan of the docs.

Would be a very useful enhancement, since there are often hyphens in lilypond terms.

Hello everybody,

I just wanted to search the LSR for examples of ly:music-set-property!.
However, I have not been able to come up with a way to enter this
function name in the search field without triggering a syntax error. I
tried things like

"ly:music-set-property!"
'ly:music-set-property!'
ly\:music\-set\-property!

to no avail. How would one go about with that?
