Re: when/where/wy is a label for page-ref created?

[Jan-Peter Voigt]

Hello Neil,

thank you very much! With your patch "loose" labels are not pruned.
I will have deeper look into it tomorrow to learn more about the 
C++-part of my cute lily ;-)
But first I will prepare a new version of my snippet, where it shows 
asterisks/stars instead of numbers, wich is the way I saw it in most 
scores I sung.
It should'nt be too difficult to parametresize it to use symbols or 
numbers. I am thinking of another version, wich collects such numbered 
comments like a table of comments to be inserted at the end of the book 
(or somewhere else, see Dana Emerys comment to issue 737).
My footnote snippet can only contain (small) markups in a reserved space 
on the page. But well - it is a start ;-)

I really would enjoy a ride through the process of label addition. But 
to be honest, I think I have to dive a lot deeper through the main 
processes to get a deeper insight of the whole concept. These are first 
steps in lily/*.cc ;-)


best regards,
Jan-Peter
