Well, OK, (g) it made sense to me, but then I knew what I was saying...
The spelling in the music that I meant was where the composer used the
first 8 letters of the alphabet to spell something or to create an
anagram or one of those Use-the-first-letter-of-each-word puzzles. This
part had _nothing_ to do with Morse. Sorry for the confusion. :(
