Of course. I was simply responding to mclaren’s snide email, with all of its false claims and laughably-easy challenges (both explicit and implicit): > What I realize is that Kieren is good with photoshop. 100% FALSE. I used only Lilypond. > lilypond hangs permanently when you try to compile that example. 100% FALSE: My snippet compiles without a problem (and whether or not one wants to argue about the “hackiness” of the actual solution/code, the output was clearly sufficient since it fooled mclaren into thinking I had to use Photoshop). > This example hits [the limits]. That's life. 100% FALSE: See above. > while it's not possible to output a score or a MIDI file from lilypond for > this kind of thing 100% FALSE (re: “score”): See above. ALMOST CERTAINLY 100% FALSE (re: “MIDI”): With a few well-placed fraction note factors, I could likely output a “perfect” MIDI file. That being said, in the interest of fairness… > Approximating a score via photoshop takes more time than working > with lilypond would, of course, but then anything worth doing takes time. 100% TRUE. It’s just too bad mclaren doesn’t see that actually learning how to use Lilypond well, rather than bitching about it on this list, is worth doing and takes time.
