Hi Jonas,

I just requested access...

One thing I stumbled across at very first glance are the images.
If you look at
https://gitlab.com/lilypond-issues/lilypond-trial/-/issues/5919
you'll see full-sized images without file-names. I know those images
are two different ones, but at first look at the issue noone would
believe...

I'd prefer file-names and thumbnails, unfolded by clicking.

Is this behaviour adjustable?


Thanks,
  Harm
