2005-08-26 Thread Graham Percival
As a string player, I always get confused when trying to deal with the grammar of transposition. In the below excerpt from the docs, should "a fifth downwards" be "a fourth upwards" ? Or "a fourth downwards" ? Or should the \transpose be written differently? Or...? \hornNotes = { stu
