Indeed, the tagline is misleading because it says "typeset by \maintainer", but it's not always the maintainer who did most of the typesetting work. It should be possible to credit the original typesetter in the source, but I think it's still wrong to mislead those who get the printed score. To make the matter more complicated, the amount of effort may be very different for different scores. In some cases, it's just running convert-ly. In other cases, a lot of work may be needed to display the score correctly and to produce a nice sounding MIDI file. And then there is proofreading, which changes very little but takes a lot of time... -- Regards, Pavel Roskin _______________________________________________ Mutopia-discuss mailing list Mutopia-discuss@mutopiaproject.org http://lists.bcn.mythic-beasts.com/mailman/listinfo/mutopia-discuss
