that's perfect. thankyou very much.

might it make sense to put that on the http://lilypond.org/web/devel/participating/ 
 page? that page also mentions that patches should be cooked with  
'diff -u' but at the bottom of the page it tells us to use git-format- 
patch. i also remember a discussion not so long ago about this topic.  
is there any big difference between 'diff -u' and 'git format-patch'?

sb
