You should try listening to some of Carl Maria von Weber's clarinet music. My personal favourite is his op 33, `Variationen über ein Thema aus Silvana'
Hmm? I am afraid it was exactly the music of C.M. von Weber that started my aversion against clarinet music. When I was studying piano at the conservatory von Weber was played often by Clarinet players. They loved it, but all those fast and high notes and scales were only getting on my nerves. That single long crescendo note Messiaen wrote impressed me much more!
But let's stay on-topic: Keep up the good work with your articulate script. Any chance articulate will be an integrated, built-in functionality in Lilypond in the future ?
