Yes - but it was in the context of how might one create music that would facilitate a particular desired result. 'Ought to' in this sense meaning "it would probably work best if . . . " - to bring about this particular result. >> (Be ye of the fighting Irish by any chance?) :) > >Only half ;) I *knew it*! That was a rare fine display of Celtic fire if I ever saw one. The most sure way to raise a Celt's ire is to tell them they either *can't* or *must* do something - guaranteed way to get their dander up. (I should know - being mostly Scot, with a good splash of Welsh to go along with it.) Cheers, Maluvia
