Bart,
I am a classic guitarist, and have composed and set (with Lily)
approximately 50 pieces for guitar myself. I am delighted to see you
offer your work for consideration. I will print it out and play through
all of with real interest. I'd be happy to offer you feedback, although
I have no time to do so in writing until after tomorrow at the earliest,
due to other demands on my time.
If I may suggest, should you provide your code as well it would be
possible also to comment about that. There are definitely some tricks to
efficient production of scores for classic guitar, and I've been the
fortunate recipient of some good advice by others who knew I could use
it. I could pass on to you what I've learned, if it seems appropriate
after seeing your code.
Tom

Hello everyone,
I have a question which is not strictly about lilypond, but more about
typesetting music in general, and music in general. I hope it still
fits within the bounds of this mailing list.
Triggered by an online course I've been following, I have been working
on some music for classical guitar and I've tried to create the score
for it.
It is something I never have done, composing for classical guitar, so
this series of 5 pieces is what I'd call my first 'opus' :-p.
Of course, I've made the score with lilypond, and the front page was
done in Inkscape. You'll see by the style that I tried to use the look
of some of the scores you can find from the time of Giuliani, Mertz,
Sor, etc... When you read or play the music you'll find it is also
based on music from that time.
My question then is both complicated and simple, is it any good and
why, or why not? :-)
Would this be good enough to publish?
Being mostly self-taught brings one big disadvantage: there is nobody
to get feedback from. And that is something I really need. So, if you
feel like taking a look at it, and if you spot errors, or if you have
any advice on how to change the look, layout, anything to create a
good score, if it needs any change, I'd be very grateful to hear your
comments.
If you'd be a composer and/or guitarist, of course, feel free to share
your thoughts on the music too.
Thanks,
Bart
