    Agreed

    Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
    Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
    Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

      I agree, but - as Michael Berkeley pointed out at the start of the programme - composers very rarely appear on PP.

                    Except when their meaning is unknown to the reader. Or was that a request for abbreviations which was missing a comma?

                      I enjoy the abbreviations, but they do sometimes confuse me.

                        It's probably assumed that abbreviations same time. They really don't, much. And they don't even save trees any more!

                          And a quick google doesn't always resolve the confusion I've found, as it can offer up lots of results(sometimes all stuck on the same definition/answer) that are completely irrelevant.

                            Same time as what - or do they always pop up at the same time?

                              It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.
