Comment #45 on issue 3239 by address@hidden: Patch: rewrite  
Self_alignment_interface

David,
i fully agree that any patch that breaks make doc, including this one,  
needs work, and is unfit for committing into LilyPond.  What i meant is  
that _at this stage of development_ i'm not surprised to see that this  
patch breaks the documentation.

Now, i never intend to push this patch in such state!  The thing is, this  
patch changes many things, and some design choices are not yet decided  
upon, and some more changes will be added.  This is a work in progress; i  
think it wouldn't make sense to try updating documentation with every  
version of the patch.  For example, there might be some convert-ly rules  
necessary: i could write them now and apply on the documentation, but i'm  
pretty sure that during the discussion (expected to take ~2 weeks more at  
least) we'll change something and the convert-ly rules will have to be  
different.  Rewriting and reapplying them with each and every version of  
the patch (i guess there will be a dozen versions at least) would be very  
inconvenient.  I think it'd be better to update docs when the code itself  
is more or less finished.

So, this patch status is obvioulsy_needs_work_but_also_needs_review.  I can  
use this label, but it's, uh, unwieldy...

Does this make things clearer?
