I send in this reminder not because I'm especially interested in ages,
but it would be interesting to know more about stuff like editor usage
and if LilyPond is used for original compositions or for engraving
existing compositions.



I'm now 54 and I first used LilyPond in 2001 (version 1.3.73 or 84, 
don't remember exactly) for an amateur choir where I sung bass (directed 
by my wife). I re-typed a Te Deum composed by a brother of a sopran, and 
found it fabulous. I prepare material for my wife who is also a music 
teacher (examinations).


With John and Gauvain, we began to translate the web site in 2004 and 
the documentation thereafter.


I'm not a programmer but use a computer since 1985.

I'm 72.

I started using Lilypond because it's free,
and easy to use for a quick-and-dirty job.

I've continued to use it for its ability to set
Renaissance music: scholarly
appendages to notes, incipits, Petrucci
style breves and longs, indefinite length
terminal longs...

It's a lot better than what I did in the early
70's doing ASCII art for pieces from the
Odhecaton!  From that I moved on to
doing some work with Don Byrd's engraving
program, originally done with a pen and
ink plotter.

Urs, I'd still like to see a poll or at least all the answers
collected and analyzed etc.

Me:

46-year-old composer.

I use Lilypond for all my scores. I've used off and on for 10 years(?)
but every day for the past 3 years. I started using it because it was
free, produced excellent scores, and having drunk the LaTeX Koolaid it
seemed like a perfect fit.

I don't have access to any instruments so I compose directly into Lilypond.

I have a massive project in the works
(http://www.platonicmusicengine.com) that uses Lua to generate
Lilypond files.

I use LuaLaTeX to bind my scores together into nice books.

I use emacs for my editor as I'm able to do Lilypond, LaTeX, and Lua
files as well as my website and various other projects in the same
editor.

I am 73.  I have used Lily on Debian Linux since the early 2000s.  I enter
music with Emacs.  I use Make to keep scores and parts updated.

I reorganize and/or recopy parts for orchestra, band, jazz band and
pit bands.  Sometimes because parts are hard to read or don't
provide enough cues or because players in the pit can't play the
doubles required.

I once with help did an entire concerto when the rental agent didn't
deliver the parts on time.

Re: OT: Beauty of programming languages

[Michael Hendry]

I’m a 68 year-old retired GP.

I took up guitar aged 15, playing folk and rock stuff by ear, although I had 
learned piano long enough in primary school to know what a staff looked like, 
and I played in folk clubs and bands until medicine took over.

After a long career break(!), I took up guitar again when I retired, and went 
through a part-time jazz course at St Andrews University. Local musicians I 
play with tend to use Band-in-a-Box for lead-sheets, but this didn’t work for 
the course’s solo transcriptions, and essays which required notation mixed in 
with the text.

I tried Sibelius, but was frustrated by the lack of transparency in what it did 
(a simple modification tended to have hard-to-eradicate side-effects), and I 
discovered LilyPond.

Having a hobbyist interest in electronics, I encountered microprocessors in the 
1970s, and built a couple of kit computers in the late seventies and early 
eighties, acquiring some programming experience in hand-assembly, assembler, 
BASIC and Pascal in the eighties, and with C in the nineties.

My requirements of Lilypond are minimal in comparison to the professionals on 
the list, and such challenges as I’ve put to the list appear to have been 
solved within minutes by the experts!

As a poor reader, I’m grateful for the MIDI facility which helps me proof-read 
my puny and time-consuming efforts at transcription.

It strikes me that Lilypond appeals to programmers who do a bit of music and 
musicians who do a bit of programming - I’ve struggled to “sell” it to 
musicians who aren’t into programming.

vertical kerning problem

Hey all,

I have a nasty vertical kerning issue where the mezzo forte above the tenor’s 
“off” is sandwiched between the lyrics “Oz.” and “to” in the alto.  Does anyone 
know how to force the dynamics (and therefore the tenor staff) below the lyrics 
in this case?

I guess it's time to react to this thread that I originally started 
myself :-)

I'm 54. I don't remember when I started using LilyPond exactly, but it 
must be since 5 years or so. I have also used other text-based score 
programs like abcm2ps and mup, and occasionally I still use them. But 
LilyPond is my first choice.

I teach piano and have pupils from age 3 to 80.
I do much (re-)arrangements or transcription from existing works, for 
educational purposes. I did do original compositions in the past, and plan 
to do more of that in the future if time allows.

I use Vim or Frescobaldi to edit my scores. 
I sometimes write my own python or sh scripts to organise scores and 
parts.

Re: OT: Beauty of programming languages

I’m 60 and I program for a living.

I have been using lilypond almost from the time it first came out.
I mainly use it for typesetting medieval and renaissance music,
sometimes from original notation or for re-typsetting poorly
typeset editions.

I have contributed some minor enhancements and bug fixes
when I first started using lilypond but nothing lately.

I use emacs for music entry and manage my music projects
using the fossil source control system and the mk make command
from Plan 9.

I used to use Calliope on the NeXT machine before I discovered
lilypond.  Tried Finale and Sibelius but I really prefer the text entry
and quality of lilypond.

It has been said that the way to avoid becoming an old dog is to keep

I'm a 48 year old school teacher (Mathematics and Computing).

I'm also the pianist in a jazz ensemble, which is what keeps me using 
Lilypond - re-scoring pieces for which we have mainly hand-written 
scores (some of them atrociously scribbled down).


I used to mainly use jEdit/LilyPondTool, but now I'm using Frescobaldi.

I've tried converting the Music teachers at my school to Lilypond, but 
sadly they are welded to Sibelius.

Re: mixed \time

Indeed my starting point was
 
<%3CURL:http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/displaying-rhythms#polymetric-notation%3E>

In reality I did not mix \time, but changed the code for the question.

The original code was/is

%%%

\version "2.19.0"

#(set-global-staff-size 22)

\layout {

\context {

\remove "Default_bar_line_engraver"

\bar "||"

f-"f" d-"d" c-"c" bes-"bes" g-"g" f-"f"

\bar "||"

}

}

\new Staff {

\bar "||"

f-"f" d-"d" c-"c" b-"b" bes-"bes" g-"g" f-"f"

} 

I tried different combinations for \layout{} from 
 
<%3CURL:http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/displaying-rhythms#polymetric-notation%3E> 
did it again, but I always get unwanted double bars.


I expect one double bar in the middle and one at the end.

At 74 I thought I might be the oldest user/developer, but it seems I'm not.

I use LilyPond with Frescobaldi mainly for generating tailored vocal scores for 
my village choir, sometimes transcribed, sometimes (re-) arranged; very 
occasionally originated.
Although a relatively seasoned user (since 2008), doc writer and occasional 
developer, I find the built-in templates so quick and easy for the vocal scores 
I set that I use them all the time.

42, pianist, musicologist (with half a decade's worth intermezzo of
electronic music. Unfortunately that was just before my
Lilypond/programming time, I already had some ideas to try generating
LilyPond input from PureData improvisations ).

I'm using LilyPond to typeset
- transpositions from songs I have to play and that are too complex to
transpose from sight
- examples and snippets for texts
- scholarly editions, which is what I'm also working for on a more
general level.

Unfortunately I don't recall when I first worked with LilyPond and why I
started looking at it. One reason was definitely that I was frustrated
with Finale (2001)'s habit of breaking things after the fact. Probably
the idea of programmatic access also appealed to me already then.
