Re: svg backend

[Julian Peterson]

Howdy.  I sent this a few days ago, but haven't gotten a response.  I 
have found several emails in the mailing lists reporting similar 
problems, but haven't found a solution.  Is this an error with lilypond 
or with my understanding?  Any pointers would be appreciated.  Thanks...
