One. And the proportion supporting him is minuscule, so even though the donations as such count as generous, the total amount currently is about a third of a minimum wage job. Which is why I am now looking for one of those jobs. To be fair, having had a stroke and consequently having to be consistent about my blood pressure medication has not exactly helped productivity, so the very few people still supporting me don't exactly get value I feel prooud of in return. I still try to provide technical guidance to my ability, fix a number of things, and will see 2.20 out the door eventually. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
