Hi folks I upgraded to LibreOffice 4.3 recently and now I'm having problems in getting OOoLilypond to actually insert a snippet although the generation works fine. FWIW I'm using Lilypond 2.19.33. Is anyone still using OOoLilypond? If so have they come across the problem, and do they have a worka

According to the Wikipedia article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_sign) in North America referring to # as "pound sign" dates back to at least 1932 in published material which predates ASCII by almost 30 years. The Wikipedia article provides a citation for this but I am unable to verify it.
