All music files have been updated yet again. This time for two reasons:
- Add https to the footer web address.
- Implement some tweaks since upgrading to Lilypond 2.26.

Site finally uses https
After running the site way too many years without a valid SSL certificate I have finally installed one. I hope you all feel really secure now. 😃
All sheetmusic updated yet again
Lilypond 2.24 was finally released after several years in beta. This update includes a stricter way of representing repeats with alternatives which changes the look of the rendered music a bit. All the scores on https://github.com/svenax/bagpipemusic have been updated and reformatted accordingly.
All sheetmusic updated again
I have finally switched from my custom bagpipe.ly to the one included in the Lilypond distribution. This meant moving some stuff from bagpipe_new.ly to bagpipe_extra.ly in https://github.com/svenax/bagpipemusic. It didn’t really affect any of the tunes in the archive but I regenerated all the scores anyways to be sure everything worked as intended.
I think this is a good change since it will keep my scores from diverging too much from the standard notation. It may also work as an incentive to send updates to the Lilypond project more often.
All sheetmusic updated
All sheetmusic PDFs have been rebuilt (again) using slightly bolder beams and stems. It is a subtle change, but I think it looks better this way.
Time for another vanity domain name
I have had a few vanity domain names before, but I let them expire since I really had no use for them. But this one I may keep! It’s axelsson.expert how about that? The web address redirects here, and that will not change, but you can (and should) now email me at sven@axelsson.expert. Nice – and not at all pretentious😁.
No more aleph.se
I have let my vanity domain א.se expire. It was fun while it lasted, but I never really used the name for anything. My other vanity domain, piobaireachd.ninja, is still active and redirecting here (to svenax.net). It has been payed for two more years, so I have plenty of time to decide what to to with it.
I am aleph dot se
This morning nic.se released single letter domain names for the .se domain. They all got snatched up immediately of course, and many are supposed to be sold at Tradera.se tomorrow, most likely for a lot more than 125 SEK, which is the normal price.
But just for the heck of it, I got myself the name א.se, seeing that all western letter names got taken. Anyways, it is short and sweet and looks like it could stand for Axelsson, so maybe I’ll keep it.
I am the piobaireachd.ninja
Just for fun, I got myself a domain name under one of the new vanity top domains. I am now the http://piobaireachd.ninja! Is that cool or what? The domain just redirects to http://svenax.net for now. Maybe I’ll use it for something else later on.
Pebble Steel unboxing
Not a year later, another Pebble watch. This time it looks less like it was put together in someone’s garage, and more like a cheap watch from your local discount store 🙂 No, really, it is very nice. It shipped free of charge with DHL Express this time. Incredibly efficient – it took about 30 hours for the full trip from Hong Kong to my doorstep in Göteborg, with brief stops in Leipzig, Germany and København, Denmark. Impressive.
Here are the obligatory unboxing pics. Enjoy – I know I will.
