Ряд клавиатурных сочетаний...ноты не только в собственном формате, но и куче других, включая MusicXML и LilyPond. Ну и, конечно, может экспортировать звук в MIDI-файл, а картинку — в PNG и PDF. Вечером попробую разобраться
Rather than complain about Emacs , Emacs can be made to complain about Emacs. The following are echo statements from the describe-key-briefly command to the *Messages* buffer. They will show various...a split decision. The winner and still undisputed champion editor of the world is Emacs.

Apparently, there's an argument about what the next version number of Windows by Microsoft will be . I sense this is really a bunch of marketing effort that now is creating waves of conversation to cover... However, Microsoft is a company with tons of wealth, monopoly power and influence. It should never be written off as either a dominant player in industry or an active denier of computer user rights

I submitted my first patches to WebKit . Both of them are trivial one-liners, but one fixes a common user complaint while trying to build Chromium on Linux . The URLs you need to contribute code are their contributor guidelines and their guide to using git . In particular, the second one has a link at the bottom to a script to attach a patch to a bug report from the git command line.
At my work, we use RPM to modify various system configuration files on Fedora GNU/Linux . We do a few tricks with RPM scripting in our RPM spec files to get this accomplished the way we'd like. Unfortunately...updating the macro file, and propagating the macro file through an update. However, this could have less than useful side-effects, ones that aren't confirmed by the original RPM-builder's intentions.
Yoni Rabkin wrote a short post called waaaaa? pi? again? . He read that the probability of integer pairs being coprime is equal to 6 over pi squared (6 / pi^2).
