I don't play in an orchestra. Just a concert and a couple of brass bands :-) What I would do (and will if I can) is allow the user to pass a list of marks to use. That way we don't restrict them to the latin-1 alphabet if, for example, they want to use the alphabet that goes "a beta gamma delta e phi ..." :-) > > > The other is, if I ask for a time signature of 3/4, that's what I get. > > Or 9/8.

This is a complete off-the-wall guess ... but I'm guessing that common time is often the only or main time signature in a piece, and tends to be used for march tempo. I haven't got a march book in front of me to check, but I think they tend to be 6/8 or common (or cut common). Dance or orchestral stuff feels more "4/4" to me. In other words, given a *homogenous* piece, you can't mix common time with bars with an odd number of beats. Which explains why the main place I tend to meet both common and 4/4 time in the same piece is in a selection piece. > > > Have any of these points been addressed post 2.2.2?

This sort of stuff is not in the Scheme directory included as part of the user install?
