Hi all, I’m converting from Sibelius. Not a simple, quick project. I have probably more than a hundred scores in Sibelius. So I’m looking for reasons to do this, aside from the difficulty of their licensing scheme.
One thing I love about lilypond: when I find a file on IMSLP with the source. Then I can make my own modifications. But I wonder: why aren’t more lilypond authors posting more of their sources to IMSLP? And is there some way to find the lilypond source files — the pieces that have lilypond sources. I found some through their postings on a French site (can’t think of the name now), but it’s on about a dozen pieces, none of which interest me. Music I’m going to perform, I usually typeset anyway, partly as a way to learn the music. But much of what I play is for my enjoyment, and I don’t rescore it. Also, much music like Beethoven sonatas are a great deal of trouble to score/typeset. This is not really a question, but more a note to say that I get how important this is for sharing music. Sibelius scores could also be shared, but it’s kind of rude to ask someone to pay for it. I’m using Frescobaldi now as a front-end. It has a number of useful features. I also tried plugs in for vim and Atom, but was frustrated with those. -d _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
