In my experience, LilyPond *is* capable of producing scores of the highest caliber. However, I often spend so much time tweaking the score to get it to look perfect that it really becomes a labor of love. I think until LilyPond is able to achieve that perfect type of score with minimal effort, employers at firms that produce music scores will rely on software that is more intuitive and gives quicker results - they have to pay someone for their time to notate this stuff. Meanwhile, I am convinced LilyPond's output is capable of much greater beauty than anything else out there... but I frankly don't think it will ever touch a very large user base (compared to you-know-who). I am curious who out there is in a professional music-related position that relies on Lilypond when Finale or Sibelius is also an option provided by the employer. I'm one. Just curious who else. For whatever it's worth. -- Neil Thornock, D.M.
