Thanks for the prompt and friendly response,-----b--u---t--- I got version 3.9 which, as I recall, is supposed to be the one in sync with the book and I'm still not getting anywhere. The one I had before was 3.10 in case you're wondering. I got an idea--let's get someone who knows what the hell they're doing to write me a Standard Musical Notation Editor. And as soon as I become a millionaire I'll be real nice to them :-)
For what looks to be a very in-depth Smalltalk musical package, take a look at Siren ( http://fastlabinc.com/Siren/main.html ). I haven't been able to get the supporting dll's loaded properly to try it out, but I think it even has a notation editor of some kind... It's written for VisualWorks, not Squeak, but has an extensive manual which might give you some ideas for your project.
I have to keep reminding myself that the entire programming world is full of "examples" that don't work when you download them; it's not just a Smalltalk phenomenon--but it IS frustrating nonetheless...
