+ files in the "init" directory don't get installed in the
+ /usr/local/share/lilypond directory. The files installed are of

+
+ * GrandStaff needs more work -- I want a single word
+ `harpsichord' to the left of the grandstaff, not one on each
+ stave. (Organ staff -- with separate pedal -- but common
+ properties may be something to think about. Of course for
+ organ you want to be able to give stop indications on the way
+ through, so the \property Voice.Instrument would be a stop,
+ and \property GrandStaff.instrument would be PipeOrgan...)

3RD PARTY BUGS:
- * collision.cc: 138, g++ errors
