Harm: Wow! You are amazing! Thank you so much. The second possibility is going to work very well. Also, thank you for the comments as well. I really like LIlypond but as I am the only person in my area, that I know of, that uses Lilypond I am only able to learn from the manual, docs, references, self-instruction, and fine people like yourself. Thank you! Rachael _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
