Comment marks are this: %{ %}
not this: %{ }
LilyPond ignores the whole thing. It isn't there. Of course
a brace within the marks will leave a brace outside
them unmatched. In your example though, if you typed
% a b c d
% d e f g
you would type two characters instead of four, so unless
you are using slyce and/or sly you would find two main
uses for long comments: to write a long comment at the
beginning or end of your file or to temporarily remove
a large portion as you are doing. daveA
