Back several years when I first tried out LilyPond, I was using Sibelius and Finale very regularly and often inputting directly into the software without pencil and paper (thanks to *looming *deadlines)... However, these days I almost always compose at the piano, using pencil and paper, then once I get a 99% done pencil copy, I begin at the computer. I now use LilyPond pretty much for all my recent personal compositions, and Finale when I am required to for work and whatnot. So, my process is pencil/paper first, until piece is essentially complete - then engraving straight into LilyPond! ----- composer | sound designer LilyPond Tutorials (for beginners) --> http://bit.ly/bcl-lilypond -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/general-question-for-composers-tp196856p196859.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
