Here's some such unsolicited praise, which probably could be condensed and worded better, but-- ;-)
As a former Finale user, I was originally daunted by LilyPond's very different approach, where the music notation exists in a plain-text file that the user can create and edit him or herself. But after mere hours of learning how to enter music by typing in a text file, and seeing how brilliantly LilyPond interprets that text to produce a beautiful score, I came to prefer the technique to the often cumbersome, slow process of music notation using a full-blown GUI application like Finale, Sibelius or Igor. In addition, with LilyPond it feels more like one is actually writing the music quickly and spontaneously, leaving the laborious task of score engraving to LilyPond's capable "hands." -Steve Doonan, New Mexico, US -- ---------------------------------------------------------------- If a nation expects to be ignorant and free in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be. -Thomas Jefferson ---------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
