yes. all files that i enter NEW work. in other words, if i were to  
REENTER the old files into new ones, the exact same code seems to  
work just fine. but i'd really rather avoid doing that. i've got  
hundreds of measures in ensemble pieces with several instruments.

i've thought it might be "gremlins" in the text (at least that's what  
"barebones" software calls them... i use textwrangler a lot to create  
my files), but i can't seem to find any. i know with other programs  
that are originally linux-based (such as the old helmut dersch  
panorama software and the newest port of the physical modeling  
software "tao"), that the old scripts only work when i create them  
using the old "simpletext" program in the classic environment. but my  
lilypond files won't open with simple text.

still at a bit of a loss.

thanks,
sean
