Re: Mark formatter changed in v2.23?

[Benjamin Tordoff]

Thanks for the rapid response - I’ll run the update. I’ve never tried 
Frescobaldi, but maybe I should! (I’ve been using lilypond from the command 
line for 20+ years and for hundreds of scores and parts so old habits are hard 
to break!)

Thanks for all the work you and others put into this essential software.
