Talk:Largo al factotum

Just a thought that maybe the better translation of 'biglietto' might be BILL rather than 'note' - would that be correct?

And similarly that 'factotum' in English could be DOGSBODY.

Alan - a proper Figaro!

factotum as polymath?

Factotum should be translated as polymath? I'm hesitant to change the content of the page without input from the community, any thoughts? (The only source I can find is http://the-difference-between.com/polymath/factotum , which says that polymath is related to knowledge while factotum is related to activity) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.97.185.224 (talk) 05:39, 30 November 2014 (UTC)

"Factotum" should not be translated as "polymath". The meanings given at wikt:factotum are correct. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 07:25, 30 November 2014 (UTC)

Incorrect text setting in music example

The sheet music on this page incorrectly treats -go and al as separate syllables. In the original, these two are elided, so they share the note D. Conversely, the -to- syllable should get both the C and D slurred together. Also, Italian hyphenation rules prescribe fa-cto-tum instead of fac-to-tum. Fortunately, this very example is literally in the Lilypond manual:
