Dear Lilypond developers, I joined this list to thank you all for your amazing work!
In 2002, I was searching for a free music typesetting program. From the first moment, when I found Lilypond I liked how Lilypond cares about beautiful scores and how well thought the basic syntax is. Since then I've made quite some ly-scores and I appreciate very much how actively it is developed and how much you care about every detail. I'm currently using it for every music I write down, especially four our local choir (Ars Antiqua, http://arsantiqua-karlsruhe.de/impressum). Here I have a customized tagline pointing to Lilypond and I still hope that others will find it useful. Having used Lilypond for quite some years I can testify that it underwent a great evolution (with a lot of work from you). I joined this mailing list 1) in order to tell you that you are doing a great job (it's nice to see how people care about beautiful notation on the users list and here) 2) to add some ideas from a user point of view. Even though I know and use C++ and python, I never looked into the details of the implementation (scheme scared me too much). But as I am teaching how to use Lilypond to music students, I see some spots where they have difficulties - and perhaps something can be improved during GLISS (examples will follow). And I hope it can become more widespread. Keep up the good work!
