I agree, that would be awesome. Although a slightly more plausible thing would be to isolate specific works. For example, 1. Bach cello unaccompanied suite no. 1. (single staff, a bit of polyphony but not much, etc) 2. (all?) Bach chorales. (multiple staves, lyrics) 3. Mozart symphony 40. (many instruments, but relatively easy notes/harmonies/notation) 4. Beethoven piano concerto no. X. (many instruments, more challenging notation) ... x. Tchaik. violin concert (already in mutopia, but would require updating and of course bug-fixing in lilypond to produce great output with no tweaks) However, that would be a huge understaking, and I don't think we have enough programmer interest or funds. (we could probably organize a user effort to write the .ly files, though) - Graham _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
