That's how I do it. I have a script called "b-flat.pl" (attached)
which takes a PS file on stdin and outputs the same file with the logo
"(for Bb instruments)" in grey at the bottom left of each page. You can
probably adapt it to add whatever you want.

Yes; my email program does it automatically.

Actually, I wanted & to represent two voices on one staff, where one
voice has stems up and one voice stems down. (Common in vocal music.)

e.g.

|CDEF&GABC|

No it isn't.  I suggested it on the principle that if we're going
to use up yet another character we'd better get as much use out of
it as possible, and this construct does far more than the proposed
Z while taking up the same amount of lexical lebensraum.

and that goes *particularly* for Taral's PGP bumf.  MIDI or PS files,
while perhaps better transmitted in another way, often make useful
points in a discussion; crypto signatures contribute absolutely
nothing except clutter and annoyance.  Hs anybody here ever run a PGP
verifier over Taral's sig to authenticate one of his or her messages?
