Hi everybody, As you may already know, I am fond of starting little useless projects to promote LilyPond (perhaps you remember about some of them).
Here's my last one (i don't know if I'll be able to maintain it, but it's just fun to launch it anyway): a "short informal, weekly opinion column about the LilyPond project; its team, its world, its community. It is not meant to be an exhaustive documentation resource. Reader comments are, of course, welcome." Its sole purpose is to be pleasant to read, entertaining -- and to make LilyPond look sexy. It's primarily intended for newbies, but I hope that anyone in the LilyPond community can be interested in reading it. I have named it "the LilyPond Report", but if anyone comes up with a better suggestion I won't object. I have put it on my personal website but it's not meant to be some self-advertising; if some of you guys (newbies, users, contributors etc) want to propose subjects, articles, ideas, stuff... host it anywhere else or even fork it, you are welcome. Here's the introduction of this week's issue, that presents some of the topics dealt with. Follow the link below it to see all of the sections I tried to propose. In this week's issue, I used some quotes from public mails, but also a couple of private ones. If any of the quoted persons wants his quote to be removed, just ask. %--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Welcome to this beta issue of the LilyPond Report! This issue is marked as "beta", numbered as #0, so you can just consider it as a proof of concept — which is why some of the sections below are not "implemented" yet. Likewise, not every section will be dealt with every week; I've just mentioned all of them here so you can know what to expect to (besides, upcoming issues will not be meant to be as long as today's). This week, we are going to have a look at some great websites that have inspired this Report, discuss the benefits of Free Software in education, see the advantages of multiplied durations in LilyPond, and briefly mention two "companion" projects of LilyPond: OrchestralLily and Julie. ----------------------------- To be continued on http://valentin.villenave.info/spip.php?article51 Cheers, Valentin _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
