Glad you got a resolution. Actually, our group's music prof has a load of stuff he wrote years back on Sibelius 5 which, fortunately, mostly runs under Wine. Since he owns a copy he can use that. It was a royal PITA trying to get Sibelius to issue an authorisation code! I don't think more modern versions work under Wine, but I've not looked into it for a while. I think he's really got the message that using proprietary solutions is effectively handing your work over to the software producers. There's lots of lilyponding going on here now :) Nick/. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
