RE: some questions (stem length)

[sdf sdfs]

Thanks for your help.

It still does not work for me, maybe someone could
tell me what I'm doing wrong. I've attached the source
to this message (dunno if it will be forwarded to the
list). I'm particulary annoyed about the a-c-eflat in
M.23 an the c in M.8, but they're all over the place.
Could this be a bug? (I'm using 2.2.0)
