Frankly Laurie, I can't be bothered to argue the minutiae of which way is
best. What I consider most important is that we have a concensus. We seemed
to have one before you came back from Sidmouth. If you can persuade

How is that supposed to look and sound?
Muse makes it look and sound funny.
There is a slur mark on every note, caused by those () did you mean []?
