I like the rather long-winded joke where a philharmonic orchestra is preparing for a long concert trip overseas. Just before their departure, the conductor has a heart attack and is hospitalized. It would be utterly devastating to have to cancel everything. Big crisis. The lead viola player pipes up and says "I once were in a conducting course. I can do that." Nobody's happy about that, but they have little choice. They do it like that. The concert tour is a tremendous success. The conductor is recuperating, and on the first rehearsal after the tour, he can take over again. The lead viola player sits down among his colleagues. They all stare at him, furled brows, angry looks. "Uh, what's wrong?" "Where the heck have you been the whole concert tour?" -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
