Re: Programming question

This version seems to work. You are creating a list of lyric-events to be fed to the parser rather than a string - is that the difference? Hopefully I can understand your code within a few days.

Interestingly, b-flat is coming out as b rather than bes. Or rather b is shown as b-flat on the staff.

Hi,

I couldn't get David's code to work either, would have been very elegant.
Though, attached my own attempt using Davids work and some recyceled
own codings.

Several comments inline.
And you'll still find some TODOs

HTH,
