That makes me wonder if there isn't some Qt class that could do the same job, and if Qt Creator wouldn't do a better job of letting you debug that class than an STL one. If there's some benefit to the swap, like better debugging, then I'd have no objection to switching that out. I've generally been using Qt over STL classes in new work, while leaving old work alone unless there's a compelling reason to fool with it. One good example of a case where there isn't a compelling reason to fool with it is all that std::string vs. QString nonsense. It would really clean up a lot of messy code to use QString everywhere, and get rid of all the conversion gibberish, but there is an absolutely enormous amount of conversion gibberish, and it's thoroughly tested, and translated. I guess the LilyPond converter falls smack in the middle of that mess, when I think about it. Well, I'll just leave the thought dangling and go to bed without really looking into any of this right now. -- D.
