I can relate to dissapearing posts. Through the thread of 8th = quarter, I offered a font solution which can handle any and all you are arguing about. As far as I am concerned, "previous" becomes "current". That's it. Those of you who hold on to historic tradition should realize that those who came before us may have been wrestling with the issue without a firm resolution. I think there is NO question as to what is right for tempo transitions now. The rest of you who disagree with that, shut up...you are patently wrong.
Either way, try making arrows on the fly, and multiple fonts who's stems are too tall, or have to use multiple fonts to make a single tempo expression. I don't know about you all, but I got sick of that. I've done the work for you...sorry if I want to be paid for my time. I am considering deleting this list, as it is becomming too "intellectual at the expense of what is real", fighting, and not very productive any more, although David Fenton is behaving himself as of late. My favorite person in the world is Chuck...at least he listens, and is way more nice and open-minded than most of you are. I can seem juvenile some times, but it is to add levity to things on here. Christopher, I genuinely envy you; I wish I could have played the bass trombone. Chuck, I envy you for your fortunate sequence of events that made you what you are now. Darcy, I wish I could meet you sometime...I used to be a Mac guru, but sorta lost the incentive to keep up with it like you have, after being forced to spend over $10,000 to upgrade all of my software to OS X when 9.2.2 was working just fine. As far as lost postings, this one will be the deciding factor. I really don't think I am all that cold, and I sometimes advertise my stuff because I think it might help everyone on here. Personally, I hate ads, so this is not all that easy for me. Thanks for listening.
