Re: Replying to posts

Hi Mark, The issue of top posting surely in and of itself generates massive flame wars. It is by no means agreed upon. Business (and so Outlook) generally uses top posting. Internet groups often do not. Werner's list is just a suggestion. There's no rule about top, bottom, or interleaved posting

Werner Lemberg, Reading your admonition to "don't use top-posting," I tried to locate the command in Outlook 2013 that sets this option as default. I was unable to do so. Knowing this can you forgive my "top-posting?" Can you, or anyone else, direct me? Thank you for your kind attention. Mark

Embedding eps over staff lines and music as graphical notation

How can I insert an EPS file over the staff lines, ignoring collisions? I want to suggest random notes played from high to low pitches with graphical notation by inserting the attached eps file, linking the first note with the last, in the following snippet. I can't find how to make lilypond

Question about output

Hi all, I'm doing some tests trying to figure out repeating sections and voices, and I've written this so far: http://lilybin.com/mwafar/2 My question is, does it look OK to you that the end of the second alternative is a repeat bar (e.g. ":..:" ) in both directions? I was expecting to get a
