That little parenthetical note I suggested, "(for which an A is notated as ...)" is way too wordy and is itself confusing; sorry. I was just trying to avoid confusion for a manual reader who did not know that an A clarinet is notated a third above the pitch the instrument actually produces. Maybe the following would be better: "... played on the A clarinet (which is customarily notated a minor third above the pitches the instrument produces) ..." Best wishes. Sorry Graham. I'm subscribing to the bugs-lilypond list now for future notes/comments/suggestions I may offer for your consideration as I re-read the manual. ;-) -Steve -- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Happiness is the absence of the striving for happiness. -Chuang-Tzu ---------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
