Re: Setting X-offset and Y-offset graphically.

[SoundsFromSound]

Hi all,

I just felt the need to say a big THANK YOU to everyone involved here -
LilyPond is so damn powerful, and my scores always look great when printed. 
Between Denemo and Frescobaldi both helping me to harness the power of
LilyPond, it's just a dream - really.  Engraving music prior to using these
tools was just, uninspiring and dull.  Now, it's engaging just to typeset my
finished compositions and archive them.

I just wanted to make sure you all knew how awesome you are for doing all
this.

Ben
