i realised my mistake almost as soon as i pressed send. the link i sent is to the NR and there's an amazing amount of information not covered in the LM.

If > so then let the list know (lilypond-...@gnu.org) and that can be fixed. i remember looking for something fairly basic a while back and only finding it in the LM. at the time, i decided that it deserves to be in the LM and may not really be needed in the NR. however, for the life of me, i cannot remember what it was i was looking for. :) if i come across it again, i'll shout. ;) regards, sb -- Do not meddle in the affairs of trombonists, for they are subtle and quick to anger. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
