Hello to all. We are in the process of making our own hymn books (we use shape notes). We have about 450 hymns that are in paper format right now (copied, pasted, written on, sloppy, taped, marked, etc.) and I have the job of making them all look nice. A friend suggested lilypond. I appreciate all that lilypond can do, but I find that it is taking a painful amount of time!!!! The hymns are not all the same ... and some are really complicated [for me anyway]. The easy ones only take me about 20 minutes or so, however the hard ones can take more than 3 hours and some I have just given up on for now. Multiply that by about 450 songs and it is really intimidating to me.
So my question ... maybe there is another program that will better suite my needs?? Or maybe there is someone here that is really good at entering a variety of hymns into lilypond and would be willing to help me every now and then??? But I feel I am too needy ... I might need more help than what someone is willing to give freely and I certainly do not have money to pay anyone!!! Of course I am hoping for a somewhat easier program ... clicking and dragging sounds very appealing to me right now! Does any such program exist? Thank you for your time. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Too-complicated-and-time-consuming-...-tp33763582p33763582.html Sent from the Gnu - Lilypond - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
