Uh, you never heard of the concept of an "actor" or "play", I suppose? Emotions don't need to exist at the sender's side in order to be conveyed to a receiver. And anyway, for most of the music I hear, I am more interested in the emotions of the composer rather than the performer. There is hardly something more aggravating than a romanticizing performer distracting from good Bach, for example. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
