Hello all, While browsing I came across the following article:
Kuuskankare, M (2009) ENP: a system for contemporary music notation. Contemporary Music Review 28(2): 221--235 http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/07494460903322505 It's about a system developed at the Sibelius Academy and dedicated to the production of advanced contemporary notation, including LISP-esque syntax for extensibility. It expressly cites Lilypond's approach as an inspiration. It has a number of interesting features, including real time-based proportional notation and extensive possibilities for graphical notation. Its syntax looks a lot less friendly than Lilypond's and I suspect it is less clever in some ways (e.g. the pitch notation looks like it's just seeing each semitone pitch as a unique number -- maybe a MIDI pitch?). But it's interesting to see that Lilypond is proving influential among the mainstream commercial notation software providers ...
