Patrick, you wrote Monday, September 01, 2008 7:53 PM Just my two cents and I know I'll have no influence and know that the great documentation project is winding down, but just wanted to say it because it's been a frustration of mine. I wish I'd gotten involved sooner instead of coming in

Ha! I totally forgot about tweak! Now I remember seeing that example where one note of a chord is smaller than the other three. I'm going to try it. Many thanks, James. I bet this will fix it. Jonathan James E. Bailey wrote: First, I know nothing about this, but, Am 31.08.2008 um 19:23
