Huh? Obviously "Wuthering Heights" would be one of those you'd consider more famous (runs in the family), but I don't think "Jane Eyre" can hold a candle regarding famosity to a number of novels, like "Vanity Fair", "Oliver Twist", "The Picture of Dorian Grey", "Pride and Prejudice" and so forth and so on. Even "Frankenstein" would likely ring a bell with more people than "Jane Eyre". -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
