This is enormously helpful. I was looking for his papers. I may end up going over there to look up these papers sometime Thu, 15 Oct 2009 21:09:39 GMT sanger_keith http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/clairseach/message/1246 http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/clairseach/message/1246 It seems that the papers of Dr James MacDonnell are curently on deposit among the private papers collections in the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland Fri, 25 Sep 2009 20:50:26 GMT calumcille http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/clairseach/message/1245 http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/clairseach/message/1245 Dear Simon, I see this design as a kind of European 'magic circle' and I'm not much of a fan of a lot of attempted musical steganography.
