Lilypond is excellent for integrating music with LaTeX documents (which includes plain text, simple equations, horribly complicated equations, scientific articles, etc). It can run on OS X -- have a look at fink (IIRC it's fink.sourceforge.net). However, Lilypond isn't extremely easy to learn, and as far as I know, you can't use TeXShop as a front end. If you're currently TAing the course, then I'm not certain if you could learn enough Lilypond and LaTeX (manual latex, that is, rather than using a front-end) to get much course materials ready. It depends on how much thesis work you need to do. :) If you plan on TAing for that course in the future, or other similar courses, then I highly recommend Lilypond. If you have enough time and patience to sit down with the manuals, Lilypond is fantastic. But I don't think you can use it as a quick fix to whip up some assignments to hand out to your class in two hours. :) Cheers, - Graham _______________________________________________ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
