Werner, Apology accepted.
"Minimal" is a rather subjective term. Someone might regard 10 lines as too much, while another would willing work with 25 - or more. As I mentioned elsewhere, I do not know what sufficient, or necessary, i.e , what should be included and what can be deleted. I have done trial and error trouble shooting. Be assured that posting is a last resort. Another list member just sent to me a revision of my original snippet. He found the solution (one line) in the LSR. It had to do with the Instrument Name in Grand Staff. Now if I had omitted the Piano Staff to minimalize it, he might not have seen the connection. Be certain, I understand the need for brevity. In no way do I want to impinge upon the generosity of the members by requiring them to do unnecessary reading. What is stopping me from doing a minimal example - if that is defined merely by the number of lines - is that I lack the knowledge of what to include and what to omit. Thank you for Lilypond that has provided me with my piano scores. And thank you for your concern and attention to my progress.

My reply was not meant as patronization; I really try to understand where your `inability' lies. What hinders you *in trying* to create a minimum example?
