Dear all, when I tried version 2.23.80 for the first time yesterday, I was absolutely shocked to see the new, very mundane comma as a breath mark when rendering. I know that other notation programs also use the comma, but for me the more caesura-like character used before was always a reason to use Emmentaler/Feta, also and especially in MuseScore. The normal text style comma, with its delicate tadpole continuation, goes down much more easily in an opulent score with lyrics, staccato dots, and other expressive marks. It's a misstep aesthetically and for readability reasons, in my humble opinion. As a brass player, breath marks are very important and actually occur in large numbers, so this comma will really haunt me constantly. However, since I don't expect you to undo it, then I do ask that you still preserve the old style so that each Lilypondian can decide for themselves whether to use the snappy comma or the Emmental original breath mark (tm). If MuseScore (which I still use) adopts the modified font, I may add the old breath mark there as well. Sorry for the long text... and yes, I'm still shocked (and sticking with older versions for now).
