Pierre,

I'm glad you liked it.

English is not my mother language, as you can see. So, thank you very  
much for all spelling corrections! As far as I can see, they are all  
quite right.

I work with Mac OS X. I don't know what Kwrite is (what is your OS?)  
I have assumed - perhaps erroneously - than for all OS's it was  
possible to just "open a new LilyPond window". I select "new" from  
the "File" menu or press "command-n" and that's it...

Ha ha! Plainchat would be a nice kind of chat, maybe. I meant the  
medieval monody like Gregorian. How do you name it correctly?

I never get that nm-mm thing right.

So, "middle C" it is.

Let's not get that far and put that extra "m".

Yes, don't get impotent, get importent.

I would have thought of "Indian Tonic Cunnington" (know it?) But go  
ahead without an "a".

Rhight you are again. Give me a moment and I will correct it and then  
post it again.
