Dear David,
Some very nice playing indeed. Well done.
Please could you say a little about the bowed bass instrument with five
strings. What is it?
Best wishes,

Interesting looking cittern recently acquired at the Shrine:

It is really an astonishing instrument. It is absolutely gorgeous, and the
way the back is curved, it is a wonder how it had ever been
constructed. Dan Larson and I looked at it last January when we were there.

That is one beautiful instrument! And in such wonderful condition for

Well, it's quite self-evident to me: Lilypond supports guitar, banjo,

If you read the docs, you can see that you can define the number of

one type of flag, attached to the numbers like they would be

I mean, if you understand the general concept of how Lilypond works and what
exactly it does, you can use it or not, depending on if it does enough for you.

Several years ago, I house-managed a master class with Peter Wispelway
