Yes, I have used LaTeX. In fact, I have about 1/5 of the project done in it. And I
am not an expert on LaTeX but I run into some problems when typsetting and designing a
page layout that deviates considerably from the standard document model. In my case,
while the poetry that I use for the project could be easily typset in the standard way
and lilypond-book allows me to insert musical gestures between lines/verses, even
words, my idea was to use different layouts and text formatting (possibly even using
layers, can I do that in LaTeX?) for visual representation of my intentions concerning
interpretation of the texts. Think: concrete poetry.
I googled around various TeX mailing lists and that brought me to ConTeXt, which I
googled, too and I found some threads of similar issues (like people doing poetry
chapbooks). And a few opinions were that ConTeXt is more suitable for such task than
LaTeX. Presumably it offers more flexibility in terms of layout and such.
I'm rather new to (anything)TeX and I wouldn't know where to start to use lilypond
with ConTeXt. If LaTeX is presently the only way to go with lilypond I will stick to
it.
thanks
