Thanks a lot, but this is nothing compared to Nicolas' work :-)
(I haven't had a chance to have a look at Kieren's works either, but
I'm sure it's quite impressive too.)

Oh, thanks for testing. Alternatively, the PDF can be downloaded at my
homepage (I'll make an English version too).

Well, this is Windows. The reason why I have "./" is just in case I
might need to rearrange the subdirectories, and do a find-and-replace
in the paths.

Yes. It used to compile without a *single* warning, but since I had to
make a few modifications in a rush, I guess this isn't true anymore...

Yes. RAM is the key, indeed.

Trust me, the LilyPonding was the fun part :-)

I'm looking forward to have a multi-language version. The source code
is well localized, and there are only a couple of files to translate
(possibly with some modifications in the vocal parts, that could be
easily achieved using tags).

This is because there's a character whom everyone think of as the
castle's gardener, until we discover it's actually God :-)

Hopefully, the subtitles will be easy enough to translate (even
roughly); this could then lead to an English version of the score
itself.
> Many, many thanks for all your work on this, and for LilyPond.
Well, I'm not sure I deserve that... Unlike most of you guys, I had a
personal, selfish reason to be working on LilyPond :-)
Cheers,
