    Walter - 

    Several weeks ago I wrote you a note regarding a problem I had running 
    three score files from the first movement of Brahms Sym. No. 1 in my 
    "ss2ed"program.  By eliminating the line just below the "$" record I 
    was able to get them to run.   The problem lines were: 
          P   C0:p80z31Cl.  
          P   C0:p80z31H\o3r(C) 
          P   C0:p80z31Tr(C) 
    and now I am having the same problem with the Clarinet files in the 1st 
    movement of Beethoven's 9th Symphony.  The Clarinet file operates well  
    if I just eliminate the C in that line.  In your files that line is: 
          P   C0:p80z31Cl.   and a direct copy of it gives me the error - 

            Run-time error: maximum length of string variable: temp5 
              has been exceeded at line = 4331 
              attempted length = 11, maximum length = 10 
            4331               temp5 = temp5 // line{sub} 

    I can't understand how the letter C can corrupt my "ss2ed" program but 
    I thought I should update my previous note with my recent experience. 
    It turns out that "C" doesn't appear in that line in any of the files 
    that work in my "ss2ed".

              OTHER PROBLEMS IN BRAHM'S SYM. No.1,         

Movement 1 

  1)  Error message when trying to use "mskpage" on Aug.4th'06 

transferring  Run-time error: array subscript 1 of integer variable: 
  recflag is out of bounds at line = 2361 
  subscript = 100001, upper limit = 100000 
2361 recflag(k) = current_recf   /* New &dA01/06/04&d@ every record is now 
  flagged 

  2)  Can't slur over a repeated note (Violas m.131-41 & 404-17).  Got 
a message  RUN-TIME ERROR in "ss2ed".  "array subscript 1 of integer 
variable:mf is out of bounds at line = 5882     subscript = 310  upper 
limit= 256.  If I use P26:a I get a slur error - can't start an 
existing slur.  


Movement 2 
  1) Meas 47 - Vc. & Basso - Problem with using "optional forward 
    offset" with more than one wedge on a single note in a measure.  

  2) Meas 60 - Vc. & Basso - Problem with displaying wedge at end of 
    a measure in "ss2ed". (It gets bumped to the next measure.) 

  3) Meas 92 - Vn2 & Meas 94 - Vn.1 - Couldn't force staccato dot.  
    below note head. If there wasn't a slur it automatically goes 
    there, but it wouldn't respond to print suggestions (C33:b, 
    C33:Y64, or C33:y64). 

  4) Meas 98 - Horns -  Ending of wedges are incorrectly displayed in 
    "ss2ed" - 1st Horn's wedge ends where the 2nd Horn's should and 
    visa versa. 

  5) Meas 105 & 107 - Flutes - Wedges don't end as expected from 
    stage2 data.  Flute 1 is displayed ending on the 3rd quarter note 
    (as in Fl.2) and Flute 2 ends a 16th note before the end of the 
    measure (as in Fl. 1).

A5    12      1 q     d        ]
measure 106


Movement 3 

  1) Meas.19 - Clarinets - Staccato dots on the last of the triplets 
      couldn't be moved with print suggestions.  
     Meas. 120-21 - Cl. - Print command doesn't work to raise "3".  
     Meas. 123 - Cl. - Print command doesn't work to lower "3".  
  
  2) Meas.69-71 - Vn.1 (& Vn.2) - Slur from Bf4-Ef4 (Bf5-Ef5) caused 
     a run-time error in "ss2ed" and later will need to be replaced.  
                                                                        
  3) Meas. 124 - Cl. - "3"s didn't display in "ss2ed" until I moved 
     the "*" & "!" before "back" & then I couldn't force the "3"s to 
     print under the notes.  
      
  4) Meas. 154-156 - Vn2. - The flat on the G5 needs to be moved over 
     on the lower double stops in the Vn2. part.  In this section 
     with the Second Violins being divided and each having double 
     stops, the upper ones were moved to the right of the lower ones 
     to match B & H.
