Maybe an email got lost somewhere but the mails I got on this thread jumped from a 'how do I' to a 'thanks that's really helpful' without anything in between. I think whatever the outcome of this 'hack/workaround', will be really useful on the LilyPond Snippet Repository for other users. So I just didn't want this to be 'lost'.
