Another amusing tale here. I'm from a part of Wales called Monmouthshire; but this is border country, and historically there was an extended period of ambiguity (from about the 1600s to the 20th century) about whether it was considered part of Wales or of England. It was quite common for laws to be declared as applying to 'Wales and Monmouthsire'. Anyway, allegedly, the text of the declaration of war in 1914 referred to 'England, Wales, and Monmouthsire', while the peace treaty signed at Versailles only referred to England and Wales -- technically leaving Monmouthshire and Germany still at war. A friend in the local town council tells me that this oversight was finally rectified only in 1998. When I was at school there (pre-1998...) we used to have a regular exchange with a German gymnasium, where the school orchestra would go over and perform concerts for them. If this wasn't a continuation of hostilities, I don't know what was ... I just hope this doesn't mean that copyright in Monmouthshire is 80 years behind the times ... :-) _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
