I haven't seen those, yet, (but I will). I recently ran into Ruud, not
knowing that I already 'knew' him via the list. I recall hearing that
he engraved a lot of music for ESK (Eindhovense Studenten Kerk, or
EIndhoven Student Church for those not familiar with the Dutch
language).

Anyway, There seem to be 'plenty' of ideas. If it would be possible to
engrave 'most' church music _without_ trickery, then you'd have
something :-)
