Horace, List,

Having re-read his original post: S&S sustenuto: Help!,
http://www.ptg.org/cgi-bin/mfs/usr/local/clients/ptg/home/public_html/archive/pi

I had concluded the same thing.  One of Patrick's statements, "I'm knee
deep in trouble after deciding to tweak the damper lift on a ~12 year old
S&S M."  From that decision thereon, other things began to develop that
created that "loop".

Not that you and I haven't ever done that ourselves, neh?
