Good Morning Robin Robin

it was changed in an attempt to get rid of double flats. Also part one should declare _at_least_ one additional
key change: at bar 13, to \key gf \major This is odd because to
insert this in the "low" voices you have to first split up the
initial 26 silent bars. You had better tell Richard
Rogers that – I am working from a copy of the printed score. But then again, at the top it says "Generated from a I believe that is blocked

programme that will convert So \transpose isn't really your problem at the moment.
You have to get it looking right in the original first. The original Ly file did
produce an exact (well near enough) copy of the paper copy I was working from
but it removed all the chord names which I believe a skilled pianist who can
read music readily does not require. As for me, I am no musician of any sort
and printed music is a lot of lines and dots on sticks, like looking into a
paddock through the wire fence at the remains of a wooded paddock after a
bushfire has gone through it. I am forbidden to hum, whistle, sing (?) because
I have no notion of pitch or timing – but I do enjoy listening to good
music. And yes, Win98 users are stuck at 2.8. I do have computers with much
faster chips and later versions, but I am still waiting for a stable version to
appear. I thought it would be 2.12 but now there is talk of 2.14 in the next
couple of months so heres hoping that we will get a new command \nbd (no bloody
doubles) included in it. At least I didn’t draw
fire from Graham Percival because I did at least read the appropriate section
of his new documentation even though Carl says that snippet is broken (in docs
for the latest ‘stable’ version). Thanks for your help –
one of the good things about LP is the band of willing helpers. Ossie. |
