Carl,

The 'simple test' worked eloquently but, they are ascending. I will
experiment with commas and dbl. commas.
This will give me the newbies variance I need to be good, no?
Also,
I am definitely not using the GUI as I want to write musically and manually
synergized in one.
Understand?

I think you were warning me against picking out a symbol for every
characteristic on a full score.
That would be a pain, lol.

thank-you very much;)
