It's been a long time since I've used list servers, I hope I'm
responding correctly.
I'm blown away at the rapid and very helpful response I got to my
question. Dominic, Jonathan and Brett: your comments and advice are
much appreciated!
I downloaded what I thought was the latest stable version, but I will
now upgrade.
Yes, the opening bar should have been for the left hand, I just got so
confused with the notation that I couldn't figure out how to do it (and
I was concentrating on preventing the crashes). If you think that
looked funny, you should have seen some of the other bizarre things I
produced!
You know, I had played around with the uppercase characters in
PianoStaff, trying pianostaff (which it didn't recognize, but at least
it didn't crash!) and Pianostaff--the one I didn't try was pianoStaff!
However, now it seems to be accepting PianoStaff, which is, after all,
what the Manual shows.
I do a lot of programming, including database (SQL etc.), and have done
so for many, many years (don't ask!), and I've been an amateur musician
for well over a half century, but I'm having a tough time getting the
hang of this notation. But I've only been trying to learn for a couple
of days--I'll get there!
Thanks for your help! I'm sure I'll ask more questions.
