Dearest!  Your ridiculous answer completely misses the point!  First
of all, you have obviously not seen my `most time for no good reason'
part in my reply.  Second, I do support the wish for adding 256th
(however, I've never seen flagged 256th or 128th notes).  Third, those
works don't use such small notes *all the time* but at appropriate
moments -- Sciarrino *does* use it all the time.  Do you know this
piece I was talking about?  Have you ever performed it and are you
aware of the difficulties to read it just for the `blackness' of the
piece?  If you answer is yes, we can continue to discuss the issue,
off-list.

> CASE ONE: [...]

I'm a professional piano player by myself, and I've played most of the
pieces you are mentioning.

I won't reply to this thread again.
