Hello Reinhold,

Thanks very much for your reply (a long time ago!)

I think your understanding of the very-minor bug are correct. I
imagine it might be a big job to fix it, and my programming skills
aren't even up to a minor fix. But I think it's close enough not to be
a problem!

Thanks again for implementing the harp images.


Trevor
