I'll take a stab at it, though I'm no expert at this kind of thing (the words nine, when, and zen are the American English pronunciations): :-) Nienhuys --> nine - hyoos Nieuwenhuizen --> nee - oo - when - hoo - zen Note that there are no accent marks given; my best guess is that they would fall on the second to last syllable in each case. This is also most likely the wrong pronunciation in any case. So how did I do? Did I get anywhere close? :-) -- Shamus _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
