Oh, bit shifting? Probably for arriving at integers (rather than characters)? I was thinking of that but decided that sticking with single-character strings was more likely to result in readable code. Though I figured with some consternation that something like "⁹" resulted in garbage being printed, so the readability does not really extend to the output. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
