"Partiell" is something I connect with solar eclipses, can't say I can remember hearing it much elsewhere. But any ideas for better wording are of course appreciated.

Changing to "skapande", that sounds better IMHO.

Exactly. And "header" is "huvud", which is neuter.

Added.

Yes, but then I overflow an 80 character line... :-/

Indeed. Fixed. Thanks for clarifying it.

Yes. Much better! Thanks.
