I'm still not getting italics.  I was wondering whether I had the font
specified wrong.  

Here's the file:

X:1
T:VIII. When others sings Venite exaltemus,
T:Third part.
T:Canto.

the Lute or orpherian, with the Violl de Gamba.

A bug report -- the Q line says:

Q:1/2=120

and the printout has a whole note and then "=120".  This would be
pretty fast.
