Because we organists design stop lists by keeping a note pad beside the keyboards on which we
write down each and every stop listed by *editors* on pieces of music, and then order them with
the organ. We don't listen to organ builders, and even less do we listen to the organ, and its
most important stop, the room it is in.

PS: Dvorak keyboards are supposed to be much better designs, but having typed QWERTY keyboards for
about 49 years now, I had enough trouble getting used to where they put the double quotes on the
QWERTY, let alone learning where the letters went! Bonne chance avec l'ordinateur exrtraordinaire!
