This would be my fault. Whenever I see an e-mail about one of the ly's I've
submitted I'm never in a good position to work on it (usually at the
office) and then I forget about it later. Not sure how those errors got in
there, It was 5 years ago that I submitted them but I swear I
quadruple-checked everything note-by-note, symbol-by-symbol against the
source material. Either it was wrong or I was high. Oh well! Thanks for
catching it.
