Richard: Not sure about this. I am not a programmer, so could you please direct a source to learn *Scheme. Because I do not read well, would you tell me which part of Scheme I should know to do this?* I would assume that there are libraries in *Scheme. One for placing # and b simples in the tool section of Denemo. And I am going to guess the #’’s and b’s come from Lilypond to a Scheme library to place them in the work space. Would you direct me to the section of Scheme code that works with the accidentals? I know there are other dependent sections from what you said above. This may be far off base, but I would like to see some code. I am using windows, so is there a simple IDE that I would need?* *Thank you, ƒ*
