Hi Bruce,

AAAlternateScaling.ly looks really interesting; interpreting it with
2.9.9 gives ...

Sat Jun 24 14:23:50 CDT 2006
GNU LilyPond 2.9.9
Processing `AAAlternateScaling.ly'
Parsing...
error: Incorrect lilypond version: 2.4.6 (2.7.38, 2.9.9)
error: Consider updating the input with the convert-ly script
warning: deprecated function called: ly:set-point-and-click
ERROR: Unbound variable: def-music-function

... which must be because the source is 2.4.6.

Is there a 2.9.9 version of the source, or a pdf?
