Burn!  That was harsh.  I'm going to save this for .sig material.  :)

I agree with this analysis (but I'm still committed to doing it the unix 
way).  If you're reading the manual through, please look at the 2.9 
manual.  I've greatly expanded the "general knowledge" chapters in the 
beginning; if we need to clarify this issue, it would probably be in 
those chapters.

If you figure it out, let me know.  I don't use vocal music, so I've 
barely touched that section.  I'm happy for corrections, though.
