Let's see...."perpendicular' to the front of the keyslip"... that would
make this line you've drawn roughly parallel to the keys, by length, no?
Sorta parallel to the low tenor wires, yes? At a right angle to the far end
of the tail, maybe? ........

You get the idea....... not enough rough-housing on the list, I gotta raz
some little wizard in good old OK.

ps.  way cool spell checker almost replaced "keyslip" with "cowslip". I
kinda thought that would be ok.... when you think about it... whole range
of puns available. How about a vote. Shall we change the name of a piano
part?
