Re: [oll-user] Finally, the revised instructions - please review!

[Marc S. <mar...@gm...>]

Everyone's workflow is surely different.  For me, getting line breaks the way I want them early in the process is essential, because it has major impact on spacing.  For example, consideriing just the Estrella challenge, until the line breaks are in, I would not know which systems might need extra space between staves, and until I know this, I would not know which markings might need manual positioning, etc.  But I can believe others might prefer differently.  So I don't know that the rules have to say *when* you set the line breaks - just that when it comes to the final comparison, in most cases, it will make for more sensible comparisons if we all do it the same way.  If we don't choose the same line breaks, then we are encountering different issues, making comparison less meaningful.—
