Me too.. but unfortunately it's not a good moment to seek public funds. And I don't like much having to deal with public istitutions. I would prefer if more people were able to use LilyPond and learn to have fun and learn and help others while contributing to Free Culture. That's why I started thinking about bringing LilyPond in music schools. Even though I never tried because of lack of time, I can imagine two major issues: 1. LilyPond is not considered as a professional tool because it's not used by the publishing companies. In general schools teach what the market asks. That's why I think that this effort by Urs is important. 2. Text input. Frescobaldi is doing a good job here, but still..
