I'm just about 6 weeks shy of 50, been programming computers for close to 20 years. I have been involved with deep database design, GUI design, and reporting over the years, I'm primarily a SQL jock now.
I picked up Lilypond in early 2006, if the modified dates on my files are any indication. I'm assiduous that way - It's helped narrow the genesis of ideas. Lilypond's set up immediately hooked me, I really have never used any other manuscript programs, so my perspective is probably pretty limited. And unique - as a programmer I created my own text editor...now that the source code is on a very old computer, I'm kind of locked into the very old LP version I run...I did some experimenting with v2.12, so I think I could convert, but at this point I have not had any limitations in 2.6.5. (yes, that old)... I am primarily a rock bassist, but with some classical piano and trumpet training,and I also can play guitar. I developed my own template and methods of taking a simple musical theme and weaving it into a 2-4 minute song. I'm trying to write out a cogent essay outlining the symbiotic process between my music LP and the other software products I employ. Mainly I create midi files for a 3 part "power trio" - a treble part, a bass part, and a 2 stave drum kit. From there I use AcidPRO to create mp3's files to hear, in a general way, the way the music sounds. -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Fwd-Re-OT-Beauty-of-programming-languages-tp181025p181091.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
