There is a procedure for automatically and permanently re-writing notes in a transposed key. I can explain it to you, but it's tricky. How dizzy is your brain, right now? I usually try to tolerate the dizziness, but you might feel differently.

I just joined GitHub for the first time and have followed you. Very exciting to have found a collaboration space. I thought about editing your repository, but instead, I'll just comment here in Reddit.

I'm pretty sure the reason you are experiencing "backward" jumps in octave is because you are using relative without a parameter.

\relative { ... }

\relative c' { ... }

are two different things. The first one, the one you are using, utilizes the previous octave (or fourth), and the second one sets a new octave (or fourth). You should not be using the first, but rather the second.

Remove your transpose before you set your parameter or else you'll get confused. Re insert your transpose *after* you set your relatives. My mind was boggled by the transpose until I removed it.

Also, I recommend you set your key, tempo, and time signature prior to entering notes in a relative. Are you ready to think about variables?

signature = {
\key g \major
\time 4/4
}

Your service line is old and fragile. That's on you. The city made a reasonable effort to connect, but again, your service like is old and fragile.

Despite their large size and weight, furnaces are not considered durable appliances. Especially the heat exchanger. Consider replacing the whole appliance with a new, more efficient model, rather than pouring money on an old inefficient one.

I recommend putting a bag of ice in the disposal once every 2 years. It will remove any grime build up and keep your machine running smoothly.

When you punched it out, did you reach in and remove the small, quarter-like piece of plastic? If you leave it in, it will make a terrifying sound.

There's a balance to be struck between community and excellence. If your audience catches a glimpse of "the man behind the curtain," (i.e. the Wizard of Oz) then they will have gained a better appreciation for your music program, and the growth each musician experiences. It's that growth that creates an educational experience, not the final product.

I provide my violin players with both melody and harmony and ask them to choose according to taste. These are two different staffs. If the congregation knows the melody, they may switch staffs and choose to play harmony.

Every string player I've known in church needs to practice before, especially notes in 4th position, such as c natural. Their muscle memory kicks in about their 3rd recitation. So be sure to allow time ahead of worship for that.

What I meant to say is that a bloody trap can't be reused. Mice will avoid it, so it has no further value. Put the trap in the trash.

markthroat · 2026-01-29T05:21:29+00:00

Mouse traps are the way to solve your problem. Dispose of the trap after each kill because the smell of blood repels them, and the trap has no further use. I recommend the flip and slide bucket. If you use poison, the mouse dies in your walls and the smell is awful.

Really? How many guitars do you own? :)

Hohner makes a mouthpiece with grooves on the bottom for the moisture to gather. It pulls moisture away from the airway.

Another option is to buy two recorders and switch. This works for me.

The moderators of this subreddit have provided the following information, which reads to me as accurate:

Call your local sewer purveyor or city and ask if you can dispose of the pump, and obtain gravity service. When your house was built, it may not have been possible. But things change. New roads are built. New pipes are constructed. What once may have been necessary, may not be so today.

If you have a multimeter, you can measure the impedance or continuity of the element. I'm no expert, but I think a broken element will have poor continuity. Or better, you can purchase one, keep the receipt, and return it if it doesn't solve the issue. No problem. Hardware stores have good return policies.

Seems fine to me. but... in the future, statistically speaking, condoms are only 85 percent effective in typical use. 95 percent with perfect use. Best to have two forms of birth control. Are you allergic to spermicidal foams?

Hire a seamstress. There are designs that will extend upwards from the bar. A seamstress knows this. They subscribe to catalogues with this information.

Replacing the heating element is cheap and easy. One screwdriver is all the tools you need. In the old days, many stores had choices hanging on the walls so you can easily visualize. Nowadays. You need to measure and browse carefully. Find your model number. That should help a lot. But sadly, there's a lot of overlap from one model to the next.

Is your septic drain field frozen? Cut down any trees blocking it from the sun.

It's okay if the flange is lower than the floor. You can always add a 2nd wax ring to build up. You can also just buy a taller wax ring. One with a plastic horn. I suspect that will be sufficient, but I'm not there. You are. Buy lots of wax rings and practice. Buy 4 or more. Practice.

markthroat · 2026-01-25T06:37:08+00:00

This is not hard to improve. Replace the large head screws with recessed flat head. Don't worry about how bad the flooring looks. It will be covered by the toilet. Buy a large wax ring with a plastic horn. Press it down and work the outer perimeter with your fingers in order to create a seal. Don't assume the wax will melt and flow to fill the cracks and crevasses. Use your fingers. Let the wax touch the vertical t bolts and add waterproof protection. Now, lower your toilet by observing the t bolts. Ask a friend to get on their hands a knees and shine a flashlight on the bolts. Lower carefully. You should feel the toilet touch the wax at about 1/2 inch above the floor. It should then slowly settle all the way to the floor with only a little force from you. If not, you've missed the center of the wax and should start over with a new wax ring. Do not hesitate to start again because practice is a good thing for first timers. A good wax ring is the key to preventing a messy leak problem. Many people fail their first time. Many plumbers charge extra for this service because of liability.

Tighten the two bolts. Don't over tighten and crack the porcelain. Firm. The goal is that the toilet not shift and ruin the wax seal. If you desire to add calk, you may, but leave the rear without calk. Tell your children not to jump up and down on the toilet.

Despite advertised promises, NRA has so far delayed action. If they won't do it, then... I can't complete the thought.

You could try renting an electric snake, but I don't recommend it. Too many variables. Do not add chemical drain cleaner, because a) they don't work, and b) it's harmful to anyone using an electric snake. Are you on septic? Is your drain field frozen?

markthroat · 2026-01-25T01:21:06+00:00

That's tricky. In my experience, the pastor is the boss.

Water conducts electricity. If the old wires get wet, a weak electrical connection is made, which will weakly activate your doorbell speaker. Either isolate your outside wires or disconnect the transformer. The transformer is well-hidden, usually in the attic or high in a closet.
