Allows for framing comments in LilyPond backends.

Allows for framing comments in LilyPond backends.

[MikeSol, 2011-12-04 10:12:55]

Hey all,

I'm working on a piece w/ scripted SVG, and this'll make it easier for me to
parse the file in Python and move things around.  Try it with:

\relative c' {
  \override NoteHead #'framing-comments =
  #'("NoteHead coming up." . "NoteHead finished.")
  \repeat unfold 16 { f }
}

Then use the svg or ps backend and look for these comments.

Cheers,
MS

File scm/define-grob-properties.scm (right):

scm/define-grob-properties.scm:310: stencilfied of a grob in a given backend.")
Mike (anyone?) 

"...stencilfied grob in a given..." or "...stencilfication of a grob in a
given..." but

is there a better word than 'stencilfied'? 

I won't pretend to understand the things in this file anyway, but I did a quick
look for the word elsewhere and there is none, so I assume this is not a
'standard' term in this literal context.

Agreed completely, James: these neologisms are completely to be reprehended!  A
somewhat less painful alternative might be "stencilize" in its many
permutations: viz. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/stencilize

althopugh to be quite frank, one hopes a more suitable word will come to light. 
Nevertheless, it should go to countdown for the added utility.

What's wrong with stencilled?  Its common meaning is "drawn with a
stencil" rather than "turned into a stencil", but I don't think that
"stencil a grob" would be hard to understand, and, in fact, the nature
of Lilypond's stencils is more that of a stencilling rather than a
stencil: the overall shape is fixed.

I decided to pull the patch.  Ralf had a lot of good arguments against it.
