I believe my last email didn't went through, so I'll write again. David, I also sent a l little bit of money. I, too, wish I could send more, but I'm not exactly wealthy, working on a shitty job in third world country... You say you cannot deliver much value, but I believe we are the ones in debt with you. You seem to be one of the more knowledgeable persons here when it comes to the Lilypond code and Scheme. I don't follow the commits of the Lilypond development, but I'm sure you made a lot of worthwhile contributions in the past. Besides, helping a person in need should be reason enough. Caio
