Re: Headword for unfretted-strings

Oh man, I really don't know about the copyright.  If it was published in 
1905, then it's in p.d. in the U.S.  If I'm not mistaken, the pdf I 
downloaded from the International Music Library Score Project was made 
from a Dover score, and I think those are always made from public domain 
stuff.  If there's any hesitation to include it, then I could do a 
fragment of something older.  Even if we can't use the Ravel, it was a 
fun diversion from the big orchestral score I've been trudging through 
and I learned a number of things I hadn't known how to do before :).

I don't really know how to deal with the staff spacing and was just 
going to look at the docs for guidance when I had some more time.

Glad you're pleased with it, Trevor.  Could you email me the code with 
the time sig removed?  I've never figured out how to do this except by 
making it transparent, which looks ugly b/c there's a blank space.  I 
want to see how you did it.
