Has anyone looked at Lilypond? I downloaded it last week and installed it, but for some reason, the GUI won't run.



I looked at it, for about five minutes, until I found this priceless line in the manual, under 'advanced notation':

"In general, the use of new, innovative notation makes a piece harder to understand and perform and its use should therefore be avoided. For this reason, support for contemporary notation in LilyPond is limited."

In other words, "This program doesn't do everything, but that's only a problem if you're doing things we don't like".
