>I am not top-posting David,
You are way too good! Is this the way I enter it? For some reason, does not seem to be working - it seems to be ignoring the suffix. If I wanted to display new-name as the program runs, is there a command for that? Thanks Jay \version "2.18.2" music = \relative c' {c2 d e f g a b c c b a g f e d c} newnames = #`(("c" . "S") ("d" .
