Re: film score example

[Kieren MacMillan]

Hi Curt,

Thank you so much for doing this!
As someone who dabbled in film scoring pre-Lilypond (and, in fact, before 
Sibelius was on anything but RISC OS), and wants to get back into it in 
Lilypond, this is all very interesting information.

If you're ever communicating with him again, tell him I love his work 
(especially "Year of the Comet").

As part of my "template/stylesheet" project, perhaps I'll put together 
templates and functions for some (or all) of these difficulties…

Cheers,
Kieren.
