Hi!

I'm trying to parse a XML document (MusicXML), I found that here
something about it: 
http://railstips.org/blog/archives/2008/08/11/parsing-xml-with-ruby/
- I chose Hpricot, but I have a problem: in XML document, which I'm
trying to parse, there are names of blocks with minus sign, for
example <score-partwise>. In Hpricot it should looks something like
this:

 xml = File.read(path)
    puts Benchmark.measure {
      doc = Hpricot::XML(xml)
      (doc/:score-partwise).each do |s|
        # here we have s as each score-partwise block
      end
    }

But it throws undefined local variable or method `partwise' for
#<MusicxmlController:0xb6badff4>, becouse in symbols names minus sign
is prohibited. How can I make a symbol name with minus sign?

cheers,
simon
