4.4.4 General writing
-
Do not forget to create @cindex entries for new sections of text.
Enter commands with @funindex, i.e.
@cindex pitches, writing in different octaves @funindex \relative
do not bother with the @code{} (they are added automatically). These items are added to both the command index and the unified index.
Both index commands should go in front of the actual material.
@cindex entries should not be capitalized, ie
@cindex time signature
is preferred instead of “Time signature”, Only use capital letters for musical terms which demand them, like D.S. al Fine.
For scheme functions, only include the final part, i.e.,
@funindex modern-voice-cautionary and NOT @funindex #(set-accidental-style modern-voice-cautionary)
-
Preferred terms:
- In general, use the American spellings. The internal lilypond property names use this spelling.
-
List of specific terms:
canceled simultaneous NOT concurrent measure: the unit of music bar line: the symbol delimiting a measure NOT barline note head NOT notehead chord construct NOT chord (when referring to <>)
