Graham,
I think this is a FANTASTIC suggestion and I am willing to contribute
some examples.
I am really struggling to learn enough about Lilypond to create
a simple cello + piano accompaniment score. The resulting output would
be the cello part, and the piano part.
The Lilypond has a lot of detail but it reminds me of trying to
learn another language with just a dictionary. I would like to
see a COOKBOOK approach (think of the Oreilly Perl Cookbook
for example) with a COMPLETE set of files to demonstrate how
to achieve a particular output.
My main areas of interest are:
cello + piano accompaniment
violn + piano accompaniment (should be similar to above)
Strin quartet
Piano quintet
I would like to see some suggestions on file naming conventions
and "Best practice" Lilypond coding. I often look at the mutopiaproject
for examples, but I get annoyed to find they are old versions and
require time to upgrade and fiddle around with.
I would like to see the Lilypond examples to include annotations in
comments suggesting alternatives and a commentary of what is going on.
Thank you,
Charles Cave
