Thank-you Luis.  I got the special profiles to use in C1LE from the Leica
User Forum where a photographer called Jamie Roberts had made them.  I found
they also work in C4b.  It made a big difference, particularly on the double
basses.

I liked very much your pictures Matthew, very nice moments and atmosphere.
If you have only used IR filter on one lens, IMO you has obtained great
results and not noticceable magenta cast.

Saludos cordiales
Luis

The CD will be out in the Autumn.  They asked if I could do some promotional
shots.  As an amateur I found it a challenging but very enjoyable
assignment.  I had to rush there after work on the Friday evening, but the
Saturday afternoon was more leisurely.  I had not photographed in
floodlights mixed with sunshine before, and colour temperature took a lot of
work.  Maybe I should work in b/w as so many LUGgers do.  I was impressed
with the lack of flare generally.  Of course there were some lens
reflections, and a few shots affected by banding, which I have not shown.  I
was anxious not to get in anyone's way, and never clicked the shutter when
the recording light was on.  When shooting from the organ loft with a
tripod, I kept the longer lenses at just below their maximum aperture, and
ever so slightly changed focus between each quick picture, hoping for at
least one good one.  There were no posed shots at all.  I have distilled
more than 200 pictures down to 24 for the gallery.  Printing has gone well
on A3 (Epson R2400 with Permajet ink + paper) for the best. My Noctilux then
went away for coding and I await its return.
