8O $23 000... Unbelievable!! So simple and so effective. Heck, let's do it! Do you know of any famous pieces of music without freely accessible scores? I have only one shot now, but it isn't perfect: Samuel Barber's "Adagio for Strings" was composed in 1936 but the composer died not-so-long-ago (1981). Still, it's possible that in some countries the work itself might be out of copyright. > Several users/contributers, including Janek, showed some interest in > a "MuseScore-LilyPond synergy".

I feel motivated to write down my thoughts on this topic :) cheers, Janek _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
