What, doesn't "Fargle Blag" give a good impression of lilypond? ;) ok, I'm fixing this part now. > What about adding a cool typeset example, there certainly is space for Cool examples go in Introduction->Examples. One person has volunteered some contemporary pieces; I'm hoping to get other genres of music, and more than anything else, a volunteer to organize it.

The really cool typography stuff (a la George Crumb) would scare people. I'm therefore not too interested in showing the input to those. The Crash Course gives a good introduction, as does the tutorial (of course). > Other sites have a lot of links on the home page.

(and it requires horizontal scrolling in my browser! ok, this *is* a netbook, but it still has 800 pixels. I *hate* sites that attempt to force a particular resolution. :/ ) Cheers, - Graham _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
