Re: final score

[Sarah k Alawami]

Is there a way to have line numbers turned on in lily pond so I don't have to 
count them? I don't' see a way to get to a presences thing in lily pond 2.16 
for mac osx. This would help a lot in terms of errors. or can I correct it 
direct from the log file? I doubt it.
 Thanks.
