I'm pretty certain it's because I is easy to confuse with J or L or I (roman numeral), depending on the exact font used. Either that, or some 18th century king was pissed off at the letter because his ex-lover's name started with that letter, and everybody respects the tradition banning the use of that letter. :) Cheers, - Graham _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
