I'm 19 years old and a student of Music at the University of Birmingham. I started to dabble in Lilypond a few years ago when it piqued my interest. Nowadays I use it for engraving composition work and musical examples for essays and other written work. I find Lilypond really useful because I can do my work at home while most other students have to stay in the music computer cluster slaving away in Sibelius well into the evening!
At the moment I'm arranging some string quartet music for a wedding. I am finding Frescobaldi immensely helpful as it makes my workflow so much quicker and keeps all the relevant files organised and easily accessible. The two things I love about Lilypond the most are the beautiful output it produces and the great power and flexibility provided by text input. My thanks to the Lilypond community and everyone who continues to make it such a brilliant tool for musicians.
