Maybe an email got lost somewhere but the mails I got on this thread jumped
from a 'how do I' to a 'thanks that's really helpful' without anything in
between.
I think whatever the outcome of this 'hack/workaround', will be really useful
on the LilyPond Snippet Repository for other users. So I just didn't want this
to be 'lost'.
