"You do realize, don't you, that if you had just asked for help creating that music, Kieren would have helped you and taught you some of his coding skills (and he IS really good, BTW). "
Not likely. What I realize is that Kieren is good with photoshop. I'll bet he can show us an image of Ronald McDonald's inauguration as president too. Nope, lilypond hangs permanently when you try to compile that example. That's the reality. Lilypond is a little more flexible than Finale or Sibelius, but like those programs, lilypond has limits. This example hits 'em. That's life. Fortunately I can enter this kind of stuff using MIDI sequencers, and in runs a lot longer than 7 or 8 notes. (One neat feature of the MIDI sequencer I use is that you can set a starting tempo mm = X and an ending tempo mm = Y and tell the program to continuously accelerate or decelerate each note to fit all the notes into that acceleration curve. So you can enter 200 notes and tell the program to start at mm = 20 and continuously accelerate to mm = 150 and it'll do it for you without any trouble. And that MIDI sequencer runs on DOS. LOL!) So, while it's not possible to output a score or a MIDI file from lilypond for this kind of thing, with photoshop you can get close enough that the difference doesn't really matter. Approximating a score via photoshop takes more time than working with lilypond would, of course, but then anything worth doing takes time.
