I’m in my early 40s, and started using LilyPond in early 2011. I love LilyPond’s flexibility and extensibility which lets me create sheet music in alternative notation systems that have a “chromatic staff” – especially “Clairnote”[1]. LilyPond is in a league of its own for this kind of extension and customization, and she handles it like a champ.
By working on extending LilyPond I’ve learned a lot of Scheme. Before I had basically only used javascript. (I’m not a professional programmer.) I try to contribute back where and when I can. I play guitar, trumpet, a little piano, and I sing. I have mostly used LilyPond for arranging fiddle tunes and similar pieces for string bands / dance bands that I’ve played in. Thanks to everyone for their contributions to LilyPond! -Paul [1] Clairnote: http://clairnote.org See also the Music Notation Project: http://musicnotation.org _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
