Mr. McClure, On two previous mailings I have extoled the values of Lilypond for the new user (loaded mine this last March), or what might be called its "out of the box" capabilities. Since installation I have transcribed 20+ piano scores for my own study and use. All of them are crisper than the published version and are more uniformly spaced on the page.

We don't want to just promote LilyPond to expert users; wouldn't we want any user to switch over? Any professional can make anything look good. An expert Micro$oft Paint user could probably reproduce the Mona Lisa if given enough time. What LilyPond does better than Finale/Sibelius is more excellent default engraving. How many times have people used Finale and gotten that dreaded last-bar-on-its-own-page problem? I believe the best test would be using ONLY defaults for Finale, Sibelius, and LilyPond to show what the programs can do--not what experienced users can do. ----- Ryan McClure Music Education Major, Shepherd University Luna Music Engraving www.lunamusicengraving.com -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/engraving-comparisons-and-other-promot ional-materials-tp155133p155232.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
