[LAU] Gmorgan9.75

[Robert Vogel]

I uploaded a new version of Gmorgan (0.75) to Sourceforge tonight.

Revised documentation for this version. Find it in the doc folder as a 
pdf or an odt file.

The display is lighter, so it works on my laptop now.

Added a print function to the Sequencer screen. It doesn't print. It 
writes a lilypond file,
so you have to install lilypond, and execute "lilypond filename.ly". It 
doesn't
do repeat marks, but, aside from that it should be ok. See lilypond 
documentation
if you have any problems with it.

Added block chords to harmony choices.

Did some static checking and cleanup.

*===== Problem ==========*

I have removed sample songs that were formerly included.

Since this is free software, it would be silly for me to take great 
risks delivering it.

I could use some advice, especially if you are knowledgeable about copy 
write law.

There are at least a couple of web sites that offer more or less 
complete songbooks with their
software:

They have done this free for years without apparent problems.

See, for example: http://www.mellowood.ca/mma/examples/examples.html

or, even better, see impro-visor's imaginary book.

There is a conversion program in this tarball that converts from 
impro-visor songs to
gmorgan. I have done the conversion, made modifications that improve 
them (for my ear anyway),
and would like to include them, but it is not worth it to me to get in 
trouble with the law.
So how can I make this legal ?

Write me if you have ideas about this.
