I am now, and it works great. Thanks very much.

Excellent. I shall give this a try as soon as possible.
This is particularly important for me. I'm using lilypond partly to
learn to read music properly (I'm a guitarist, and a drummer, so hey,
who needs to read music! But I've just taken up mandolin seriously,
and score means I can play all the violin music). So I like to write
the score, and then play all to it later.
Could I humbly suggest that this be incorporated as a
standard, with perhaps the facility to override this when necessary?

Ah okay. I didn't know you could do arithmetic, which
pretty much answers my question. Thanks again both for this, and for a
fantastic tool.
