Would a non-programmer have big issues with continuing their music using the developer releases? Do the developer setup packages install everything as smoothly as the "stable" packages? Or should a non-programmer, who is nevertheless confident with lp usage, still stick with the "stable" releases? Risk-wise I can tolerate minor software defects and workarounds, but would not want to install something that has "show stopper" bugs, but dont mind being on the "bleeding edge".
Great! More usage means more testing which means better software.However, be aware that "show stopper" bugs *will* occur -- we obviously try to avoid them, but I can pretty much guarantee that there will be at least one before the next stable release. When they do, just remember that you're using the non-stable package: send a polite email to -devel or bug- letting us know about the problem, and then downgrade your version of lilypond to the previous version.
