Carl, The concept of "minimal" is rather subjective. I really do not know how to quantify it. The only current indication is some nebulous reference to number of lines. As I mentioned in another response, I do not know what is "essential" in a snippet. How do I know that the two line "solution" conflicts with something that was eliminated? (I still have not got my head around the hierarchy of Lilypond's file structure.) I have on many occasions, some prior to my posting, done a trial/error, add/subtract with my scores. Be assured my posting is a last resort. I am not asking anyone to ignore what I provide, just as I do not require anyone to respond. Whoever reads my post has the choice to respond or not. Again, I am grateful for all the assistance I have gotten from the more knowledgeable.

Are you really asking us to ignore your emails if you don't provide tiny examples? I think that will not have the result you would like. The "group of experienced coders" you refer to were precisely the ones who helped with your solution and asked you to learn to make tiny examples in the future. Nevertheless, they answered your question. If you wish to keep getting help from them, it would be wise for you to try to learn how to create tiny examples, rather than suggesting that they not ask you to do so.
