This is my first post to the discussion list and it is more of a question about the clarity of a scanned source I am working on. Please let me know if these questions are not appropriate to the mailing list.

I am working from Boije 4, D. Aguado's Op4 Six Petites Pieces for Guitar, and No4 illustrates 2 issues:

1. The piece starts with a markup, "6e en Pu." or "6e en Puí." or, possibly, "6e en Pué.". I am guessing this has something to do with detuning the 6th (E) string ('Sixth is <something>') to a 'drop-D' tuning on the guitar. If someone can give me the correct phrase and translation it would be appreciated.

2. I have encountered several confusing parts where time signatures do not add. The fix seems to be either making a beamed set of notes a \grace{...} or one or more tuples. In one case, only a grace managed to fix the required number of beats in the first case but in the second case it was ambiguous.

That is one question and one issue on clarity. In the case of #2 I made my best guess --- coding both and listening to the midi output, playing the sequence, etc. I have annotated the problems in the submitted lilypond file in case anybody has input.
