Re: dvips Problem, Round III

[Will Oram]

Had character encoding been an issue, lilypond would have choked on my 
input long ago.

I use BBEdit Lite 
(http://www.barebones.com/products/bbedit/index.shtml) to write code. 
It works in ASCII, mostly because it's meant more of a code editor than 
anything else.

I don't have any compression utility on my computer at the moment 
(forgot to copy it from old to new HD!), but I hope this file will 
transfer fine. If it doesn't I'll put more of an effort into finding 
something to compress it with.

test.ly
Description: application/applefile

test.ly
Description: application/text
