It is not just that. There are also a few advantages: a) MusicXML export means the results are usable in a variety of notation programs making use of an open standard. b) volunteers can be given a complete toolchain. "You can use an editor of your choice" is about as helpful for the average musician as "You can use a lathe of your choice". c) "Ok, let's assume I have a MIDI keyboard hooked up to my computer for note entry. How do I go from there?" "Bring the keyboard back to the store. We are not going to use it anyway." d) "I am well-versed in LilyPond. What form do you want the entry in? Can I use music functions? What note language should I be using? Should the voicing be reflected in ad-hoc voices? Should I be using anonymous parallel voices? What kind of context mods should I be using?" "Uh, we better form a committee for that kind of question." -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
