I even feel I have to come to those guys' defence - zero of my professional as well as non-professional musical friends knew (of) LilyPond before I told them, and I don't think many of them will use it because they prefer the apparent comfort of point-and-click-WYSIWYG-kind-of-programs. Whereas all of them use Sibelius or, occasionally, Finale.
Also, I don't know any of the numerous other scorewriting programs that are available out there, so I cannot judge the quality of those. So, I don't want to step on anyone's toes, but let's just assume that they are inferior to Sibelius and Finale. So it might very well be that there is some commercial background to that contest rule ... but it might also just be that the judges want typeset scores of decent quality, and for all they know only Sibelius or Finale deliver that. I wouldn't call that stupid ... maybe a bit narrow-minded (in particular because they exclude any musical genius who doesn't know computers from their contest), and certainly annoying for us here. I still wait for their response, though. A-and I found the idea of including a "make-it-look-crappy-like-sibelius-engraver" very amusing! Rob On Thu, 18 Aug 2011 18:20 +0300, "Dmytro O.
