Well done - you're up tomorrow (Again).
Your explanation was correct, but as I'd prepared this little ASCII art, I'm still adding it ...

spaces in the treble staff = F A C E (as per diagram above)
Right = R
Right in the middle of the spaces in the treble staff = F A R C E
laughable / ludicrous drama = FARCE
Trivia fact of the day: Ludicrous derives from Latin 'ludicrus' probably from 'ludicrum' which means stage-play

I would have tried to explain more - I'm not musically talented* - but I was on my phone while waiting for Herself to have bloods taken.
* cannot carry a tune in a bucket; people start to run away screaming when I sing.

My father was a pro musician and was kind enough to share the talent with me - I could read music before I started school - never used it except to learn something I've never heard.

I have tried at various times to learn but have never made much progress. Sadly the only music lessons I received at school were from people who could not teach.

Yes I know what you mean - my teachers in general were very good when I was in North Wales but when we relocated to the South of England it all went wrong - I was about three years ahead of what they were teaching in the South so consequently lost interest in education and left school at fifteen with no qualifications except street knowledge ( which has stood me in good stead ) I basically educated myself after school finished in what they used to call Technical College ( 3 days a week at work and two in college for seven years ) and ended up with City and Guilds in Mech Eng and an HNC in the same

Whereabouts? I lived in Prestatyn in the 50s, and went to the Grammar School in Rhyl.

Caernarfon, Segontium School ( named after a roman fort nearby ) have relatives in Rhuddlan just outside Rhyl - one of my distant relatives used to have a stall on Rhyl fair

Back when I was doing music it was 'Every good boy deserves fruit'. The only other one I can remember is the bass clef, 'All cows eat grass'.

I used a commercial software to build my installer for my Windows apps. one app is written in C++ and another is written in C#.
I felt my commercial software too powerful for my small apps. now start to research alternatives.
Would any experts like to share your thoughts and experiences?

Tried to write an installer in C#, but that was not such a good idea, also tried Click-Once install but as our software needs admin rights that was not a good idea either.
So we stick with the trusted Inno Setup installer, it does score quite well on Slant too:

InnoSetup is the best choice! Works great. Easy (relatively) to use. Free. 
|
|
|
|

Win32 API has (a now not recommended) section of Setup API we used to create our own installer. Today we use the newer Installer API (MSI) to do the same.

I used to use Inno Setup. Free and flexible enough for my needs at the time.
My current app doesn't actually require an installer. I use ClickOnce publishing to get all the files and dependent libraries. These days it's basically copy and paste deployment.
I wrote my own updater though which only downloads new and changed files.

|
|

I use Inno Setup to initially install applications.
For updates I created a dll and class Application Auto-update via Online Files in C#[^]

You're welcome, it's kind of simple but it works and gives you complete control.
