Hello, Beginner (nine months) at Lilypond, interested in helping converting/updating Mutopia works...
I've been experimenting with Lilypond for less than a year, downloading some works already engraved and trying to engrave them with Lilypond. I have learned most of the elementary aspects of Lilypond now. I'm still working on many aspects of Lilypond that I do not yet understand. I recently started downloading both Lilypond source and pdf (Letter) engraved music from Mutopia (mostly Bach and Mozart). I have tried using convert-ly (both version 2.20.0 and 2.22.0 of Lilypond), capturing/saving the output and trying to understand the warnings that sometimes occur. I subsequently try to engrave the converted Lilypond source. Most often there is success, sometimes there is something that goes a bit awry. I am learning, slowly, how to manually perform conversions that convert-ly was not able to do (which the convert-ly did report). As I get a bit better at doing this, I'd like to contribute to Mutopia by performing some of these conversion updates and providing the updated Lilypond source, trying to make the pdf output look as close to as accurate to the Mutopia Lilypond engraver's pdf. I do not think I am ready to perform this action just yet, but I'd like to be able to do so soon. I really appreciate the works that already exist on Mutopia. I think that this is not only a great resource for high quality engraved music, but a great educational resource for the engraving process itself.
