I must admit... That I do share some feelings with John. I've been using LilyPond infrequently for many years, and frequently for a year now. I often get surprised by its behaviour, and I often have to puzzle how to achieve certain results.
But... The documentation has improved enormously. The current 2.11 version can hardly be compared to the older versions. It is *great* and getting even better. And... Support from lilypond-users is also *great*. Moreover... Every piece of music is different. Very often I am surprised that LilyPond *can* actually achieve something wierd that I had in mind. I'm pretty sure many of the 'user friendly' point-n-click tools are quire limited, I have yet to find one of LP's limits[1]. Yes... It takes some time and effort to learn LilyPond. It is worth it. -- Johan [1] Maybe how to add lyrics to a partcombined section? _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
