Re: Lilypond cheat sheet

[Olivier Biot]

Hi Joram,

Thank you for the updates cheat sheet.

As a matter of fact I just printed both cheat sheets on one sheet of paper and laminated it. Two sides of invaluable LilyPond information :-)

Hint 1: use heavier stock paper when printing double sided.

Hint 2: print borderless for printing the other sheet (pale green background).

Best regards,

Olivier

Thank you for all your comments on my cheat sheet[1]!

I included them and spotted some more. Here are the updated versions of
the English and the German cheat sheet (in svg and pdf format)[2]:

Because there is no script to produce it, but only an svg file, I cannot
recommend including it in the documentation of LilyPond (just as a
matter of file size and the reduced diff-ability).

But, not just because I've made it, but especially from a user's point
of view, I would suggest to make a link from the documentation to the
cheat sheets of Reinhold Kainhofer (if he agrees) and me. (Perhaps from
the bottom of this page:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/notation/cheat-sheet).

For me personally it is a great help to have a cheat sheet while writing
scores with LilyPond and I think many users would welcome it, but they
would never find my website or Reinhold's. Both for beginners and more
advanced users these could be useful in addition to the above mentioned
existing cheat sheet of the documentation.

Concerning the question how to update it for new versions:
The documentation is for 2.16 anyway and a link could be removed in case
it gets outdated. However, I intend to update it to the next stable
version as soon as that comes out. But I cannot guarantee that for all
eternity, though.

Cheers,
Joram



[1] I have corrected "Lilypond" to "LilyPond" even though I dislike this
capital P ;)

[2] The website itself is not there yet, but the files are accessible.
