OK, done.
I absolutely do not like the idea that (see the last sentence in this
section) the \relative { blablabla } syntax could be removed. I use it
all the time!

Hm, the sentence says: "This syntax is _derived_ from". I don't know
the exact meaning of this word in English, but in French it would
clearly imply that it is not the _exact_ same note naming but a
sligthly different (and simpler) derivative.

I will just mention it in the following section.

It's a snippet. See with the LSR guy.
(Oh, I forgot! damn! it's me!) ;-)

Absolutely. Paedagogy inside (r) :)

OK, I talked to the LSR guy, and he corrected the snippet :)

Snippet updated (god, I love LSR).

LOL, I figured this out before reading your mail :)

Snippet updated. (LSR forever!)

I completely agree. I moved it.
Risto: I have changed the sentence. Tell me if it is better this way.
Rune: I've just seen your mail and removed the Danish thing.
OK. The changes have been pushed.
Graham: however, you need to use the updated LSR snippets to get rid
of things Mats reported.
Many thanks,
Cheers,
Valentin
