Hello everybody, While reading today's "Distrowatch Weekly", I've just seen amongst the "Rootly links" column, this link: "Editing music scores with free software" http://www.rootly.com/topics/technology/linux_unix/Editing_music_scores_with_free_software/
I immediately followed the link, wondering, as usual "will they mention LilyPond this time?" (which "they" usually don't, because linux-music-software topics are often more sound-editing oriented and don't bother with scores)... and found gladly this (rather short) post by Alex Roitman: http://www.linux.com/feature/118302 Not only does he mention LilyPond, but it is his first item! "It is a stable and mature application that produces beautiful output, optimizing the layout to look as close as possible to manual music engraving." He also mentions the "excellent" tutorial... The bottom line? "Free software offers a diverse and mature set of applications for editing music scores". I don't completely agree, though, with his next assumption: "Users of all these programs [NoteEdit, RoseGarden,Denemo] will benefit from the LilyPond engraving quality, as most of the applications use LilyPond as the rendering back end." But this is quite an excellent article, which is always good for the LilyPond community...
