Yes, well put. When I recently became interested in this clearly international mailing list, I assumed that users adventurous enough to tackle the complexities of Lilypond would of necessity be flexible, certainly the sort of people who have figured out that if you want to have any hope of extracting maximal information from the Web, you'd better be able to at least read straightforward French, Spanish, Italian, German and Dutch. I see I was mistaken. I have witnessed, hundreds of times, conversations with person A speaking one language and person B replying in a different language. Encouraging such a procedure here would seem better than driving away those who are not comfortable presenting a question in English. -- Tom _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
