Re: Parse error attempting to resize font (1.4.12/Windows)

[Hans Forbrich]

Thanks for the replies, both on the base question - that resolved my problem - 
and on
the XML side question.

On the XML side, let me emphasize - I LIKE Lilypond!  I am also aware of the 
efforts to
create a Music related XML DTD/Schema (eg. http://www.recordare.com/xml.html).  
Suffice
it to say that I do have some XML experience and I do understand both the 
strengths and
the weaknesses.   I'd be happy to assist when we get to the point of needing 
xml2ly and
ly2xml.
