Re: turning off spurious warnings

[Michael Vanier]

That works!  Thanks.  The documentation makes it sound like " " is the
right way to skip lyrics.

On another note (no pun intended!): the latest version of python (2.3a2) 
generates
these warnings for ly2dvi:

/usr/local/share/lilypond/1.7.13/python/gettext.py:141: FutureWarning: hex/oct 
constants > sys.maxint will return positive values in Python 2.4 and up
  if strToInt(buffer[:4]) != 0x950412de:
/usr/local/share/lilypond/1.7.13/python/gettext.py:144: FutureWarning: hex/oct 
constants > sys.maxint will return positive values in Python 2.4 and up
  if strToInt(buffer[:4]) != 0x950412de:
/usr/local/share/lilypond/1.7.13/python/gettext.py:189: FutureWarning: hex/oct 
constants > sys.maxint will return positive values in Python 2.4 and up
