Very interesting. My Italian friends have told me otherwise. Can you name a source that I could cite to them? >>I would also advise against the spelling "baryton", unless your goal is to >>appear (1) French, or (2) pretentious. > >Sorry, I wrote it in French without thinking. It did look fishy, though... If I were paying attention I would have noticed the "fr" in your email address. I hope my comment gave no offense. I certainly didn't mean to imply that the French spelling is pretentious -- only that to use a French spelling in an otherwise English document would appear so. If your document is French or multilingual, then of course there's no problem. mdl _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale
