So there would, at the very least, be some sort of new assignment syntax for variables with numbers in them. Ugh. > It isn't "post-fixed". It is a note of its own. > partI = { tambourine 4. 8 4 4 } > \drums { \rhythm 2 r2 } Can the compiler not be instructed on how to tell the difference between \rhythm2 and \rhythm 2 ?
