Re: lily Emulates Kitten On Keyboards

[Will Oram]

I understand your concerns. If I had any more specific information, I 
would have gladly posted it...this is by far not the first time I've 
described a bug on bug-lilypond. I've tooled around with lily 
for...wow, 1.5 years already. Anyway, I have done my absolute best to 
identify the root of these problem chords (and it ain't an inverted V, 
haw haw), but it seems to be a truly random problem.

Actually, I only hold on to a demo of Sibelius, and an old one at that. 
I use it to experiment when I'm composing. A student paying a zillion 
dollars for that? Get real. :)

Since you petitioned, I will release the (unfinished) project to the 
open. Two reasons why not to keep the volume at maximum whilst 
listening:

a) The piece itself should tell you why.
b) The nasty chords at high volume truly do hurt the ears.

Nasty Chord #1 occurs at m. 49 (41 in the PDF), or 1:35. Nasty Chord #2 
occurs at m. 57 (49 in PDF), or 1:51. NC #3 at 65 (57 in PDF) (2:07), 
and trails for a few measures on one instrument.

Best,
Will

I have to smile and remember
when you accuse me of that smell
