For what reason do they still insist on tools and not on results? I've been in a similar situation with a great US publisher who insisted on receiving materials in some proprietary format (later they switched to an even worse XML format). I showed them that I could provide camera-ready printfiles (PostScript, later PDF) that matched every inch of their standards. And I kept my part of the deal by delivering on time. As a bonus, I got a slightly higher percentage of the revenues since they only thing they had to do was to hit the print button. I've had more experiences like this with other publishers. For LilyPond this would mean: Can we produce printfiles that look like they are generated from their favourite tools (but better, of course). -- Johan _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
