OK. I don't mind typing in Lilypond notation.

 However, lilypond is taking liberties:  when I enter "F:m7.5-", 
lilypond (or is it denemo?) substitutes the half-diminished symbol: Fø7

I want to keep it spelled as "Fm7(♭5)", for parentheses, if possible.

Should I post to the lilypond forum about it?  By the way a newly 
compiled git version keeps hanging/freezing on me, when I resize the 
typeset window (!??) But that's for another thread, I guess.  Also, I'm 
not sure I understand what's happening with the mailing list - am *I* 
doing something wrong?

thanks a lot.
