Oh yes. Absolutely. I just wanted it to sound like the dramatically
intense two seconds pause that the actors use in the movies: "Bond.
... ...James Bond" :)

Karl: Very good idea. "LilyPond vs Dr. Note" :)

Jan et al.: Wow. This was just the result of a sleepless night caused
(among others) by those GDP discussions; I'm glad you guys like it.
I'd be extremely glad to write some more; this is kind of what I do
with my youngest pupils (but then again, I suck at the graphical
part).

GDP discussions not only emphasize each one's pov, but show our common
desire to make LilyPond perfect and easy (the website's catchline says
it all: "Music notation for everyone".), and particularly soften its
notorious learning curve. I often refer to my grandmother, who almost
knew how to use LilyPond before even knowing what a *keyboard* was --
but as I've recently told Graham, it's "time to retire the mom test"
;)

That was kind of the spirit.

Thanks you all for your time.
