Jan,
I hesitated to answer this, since I have great respect for the authors
of Lilypond. But I feel I have to respond.

You are right, you find one point on the list, that is ported to Linux.
works fine [but it is not open source, of course, so you get
the same crap as on other platforms.]
Maybe it's crap or any other thing. But should I stop to talk with other
Skype users because it's not open source?
you have ported i.e.
"you" have ported?
I don't say that you, Jan, should port any of theses programs. I
understand "you" as "you, outside in the world". Sorry if this was
misleading.
Let me give you a reality check. Open Source is not about
making others run for you without paying them; it is about
being able to solve your own problems, without depending on
a proprietary software vendor.
Does this mean that I have to use Open Source exclusively and have no
possibility to pay for a good software job anymore?
Platform Builder 6.0
This is a joke right?
No.
I never heard of this thing but google says
About Platform Builder
Microsoft® Platform Builder is an integrated development
environment (IDE) for building customized embedded platforms
based on the Microsoft Windows® CE .NET operating system (OS).
didn't you read the memo, mobile is going Linux ;-)
What memo? And even if some cellphones are equipped with WinCE, I have
nothing to do with mobile devices. I use this software and just asked
how Grammostola would run it with ubuntu or any other Linux.
to ubuntu. Please keep in mind: Despite Lilypond is a great software, a
lot of readers
Please speak for yourself...
Yep. The OP asked for MIDI file generating. I write harp scores for my
friends and me. I use Lilypond, since I get the best score even with
special requirements. As you can guess I am a software developer and so
I am accustomed to use this compiler thing to get a graphical output.
...you don't know that!
Who knows?
Best regards,
Helge
