I guess you could call it plagiarizing, I just looked at it as passing, funny story on. I found that they had normally been passed on many times before, with the resulting multiple symbols, and I just wanted an easy method, of getting the message back to it's original, format. Anyway, thank you to all who replied. Back to pianos. You know I went back and checked that symbol twice, and still got it reversed. I hadn't realized you could catch dyslexia. :-) Regards, John M.
