I did default my keyboard to US-layout, just because the dead-keys are too cumbersome to use and not realy necessary in dutch. For Russian I switch my keyboard-layout to a modified russian keyboard, because the mapping is not as the keys indicate. Maybe I will get the dutch keyboard also switched, but that depends on what my requirements are on that moment. == Herman Grootaers _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
