It's partly a matter of where you want to spend your time. My go-to example is here: http://www.dewdrop-world.net/words/blog5.php/2011/07/11/the-year-s-over-and-done I digress a bit in the text, but the point is the 3/8 bar. In Finale, I'm quite sure you would have to spend(waste) time adjusting the horizontal position of one or the other voice *and* some of the dots. And this is not even a very complex example, but Finale would require manual intervention and Lilypond did not. (The image in that post is lilypond's default output, no tweaks.) (I never used Sibelius so I don't know if it would do any better.) I'm an off-and-on lilypond user for a few months now and I still have to look up a lot of things in the manual. That slows me down. But I'm spending only a tiny fraction of the time adjusting things that didn't render right: that's - just a few things in Lilypond; - a LOT in Finale; - probably somewhat better in Sibelius but not as clean as Lilypond out-of-the-box. hjh -- James Harkins /// dewdrop world jamshar...@dewdrop-world.net http://www.dewdrop-world.net "Come said the Muse, Sing me a song no poet has yet chanted, Sing me the universal." -- Whitman blog: http://www.dewdrop-world.net/words audio clips: http://www.dewdrop-world.net/audio more audio: http://soundcloud.com/dewdrop_world/tracks _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
