That's very kind of you to offer, but it would seem a little extravagant as its meaning is quite explicitly described and there exists a modern notation for it (and I'm letting LilyPond modernize so much else to make an easy-to-read edition for the modern player). I do like to leave things un-modernized where convenient (e.g. I'm using Dolce instead of "p") as it can help to draw the player's attention to the fact that this isn't late romantic music, but I'm not on a one-man crusade :) > Richard _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
