You DO see woodwind in British marching bands. If they do have woodwind, they're a Military Band, if they don't, they're a Brass Band. If you see any footage of eg the Trooping of the Colour - look at the military bands, they will have woodwind. Military Bands are also known as Concert Bands - if they call themself a Concert Band it's because they don't march although a Military Band doesn't necessarily march either (nor do many Brass Bands nowadays :-( (note the careful use of caps - if it's what the band's *called* it's caps, if it's what the band *is* it's lower.) > > James Cheers, Wol _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
