Re: Support accordion with standard bass

[Valentin Villenave]

Hi David, hi everybody.

David's feature request has been officially added as
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=559

I'm both happy and sad to admit this request: I am happy to see that
people like David care about making LilyPond an even better program,
through such documented requests.

And I'm sad because I have to warn you that, honestly, we deeply lack
resources. Not money, not users, not enthusiastic contributors, but
simply developers. We have only a few programmers, who are all very
talented and dedicated, but who simply have also their lives, their
jobs, their families, etc.

However, I have to say that I'm impressed to see how easy it is to get
familiar, then even intimate, with LilyPond. Six months ago, I was
unable to understand a single line of Scheme code, and now I can even
write some (simple but useful) functions, although I am in no way a
programmer (I studied latin literature, so not really the same
stuff...) So I fully agree with Carl on that.

Plus, I'm always amazed to see how friendly and helpful our little
community is always. So, the best I can advise you is to not just walk
away.

Cheers,
Valentin
