Hi Silas,

Is there a way to insert comments in the input file? I searched through the list here but could not find anything about comments.

Hi Bertrand, currently the only way to add comments is either to write them in an LP: block:

LP:
% This is a comment
:LP

or to write them as a header that Lilypond doesn't recognise and therefore ignores:

comment=This is a comment

but neither of these are obvious so, perhaps we should add a % comment option as well.

Hi Silas, thanks for the reply.

either to write them in an LP: block or to write them as a header comment=This is a comment

Great, let me work with these. As for the % comment option, that is definitely a welcome feature.
For simplicity, I think a line beginning with % will suffice (ie. a comment on a line of its own) In the meantime, I will use the above two approaches that you suggested.

Thanks! Bertrand
