for me, - I have just started using Lilypond to transpose music for my
son who is a trumpeter so he can play in church.
I feel like I am blundering around in the dark, I haven't ever used a
progam like this before, and while I have got it working, I know it is
capable of a lot more. I want to add lyrics to the single line of
music, and I can't work that out.
Melanie and group,
Here's what I do, and I use Linux: I use a graphical program to input
the general notation. Then I export that info to a Lilypond music file.
Then I can tweak the music with a text editor until I get it they way I
want it. The point is that a graphical front end program makes writing
Lilypond code easier.
What would be helpful to new users is to point out a list of notation
programs they could use which will export Lilypond code. Does anybody
have that link? In Linux I'm using Noteedit. It's not perfect, but it
provides a great start. There's Rosegarden and Denemo as well.
Stan
