That's definitely what I was planning to do. I still have some softwares to learn before taking the leap. For instance the audio player, as a big user of Foobar2000 (I even wrote a skin back in my young days!), I'm so surprised to see it isn't compatible with linux...

I discovered this some time back thanks to Luke Smith YouTube channel. I have to confess I was impressed by it. If I understand correctly, with some training, I could even write everything in there, LP, LateX, etc...? David Kastrup wrote > Perhaps Denemo? Gets you hooked on the results. I also tried it at the beginning. But I wasn't conviced at all. I found it a lot more unstable than Frescobaldi, and frankly, I don't think the Windows 95 look would help to convice my colleagues (typically user of Finale on a Mac). But that's another debate :) -- Sent from: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/User-f3.html _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
