A pint is *by definition* the volume occupied by a pound of water. The proverb (in addition to being a good mnemonic for that fact) says in effect that certain things are true under all circumstances.

I think that working in Finale without a break for too long causes this list to occasionally have to deal with outbreaks of Off Topic emails. "OT" is a Finale safety valve and a partial remedy to composer house arrest.

That's my excuse, anyway.
