You sound like a mathematician. They use "provable" interchangeably with "trivial". > It may simply be that the OS community do not generally have these > skills. There are a number of commercial violinists. Does that mean that playing the violin can't be that hard? The problem I see here is that an OCR task offers very little if any synergies with LilyPond work. Another is that "a perfect representation" is usually only available when the music _has_ already been entered into a computer notation program. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
