Re: How to implement a "5-3" fingering (Piano) (LP 2.22)

[Valentin Petzel]

Hello Hans,

My bad, this must have been changed recently. Knute Snortum asked the same 
thing in October, at which point the docs still had the old way. And when I 
checked the stupid automatic language selector (why the heck do we have this?) 
of course delegated me to the german documentation which is of course the only 
one still using the old snippets.

So my remark becomes stupid, redunant and unnescessary.
Cheers,
Valentin
