Re: thanks again for the editionEngraver

[Jan-Peter Voigt]

Hi Kieren,

I thought about it, but since September I am employed in another job and
have only very spare time for lily. Well this contract is limited until
the end of year.
There is more to come ...
hope to develop on it soon!

For now
best,
Jan-Peter
