Interesting, because it is not snobbish at all to say "quatre-vent-dix-neuf" which other French-speaking nations have replaced by "nonante-neuf" long ago. In English, one would be considered snobbish when starting a sentence with, say, "Four score and seven", let alone "Four score and nineteen". In contrast, "ut" rather than "do" appears harmless. To a foreigner, that is. Doh. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
