Hello folks, I’m only an amateur musician, but I really appreciate Lilypond’s availability. I haven’t been creating scores any other way since I first encountered it at the time of version 2.12. Current example : Bach’s Magnificat, in which I partly double the cello with the bassoon, has many

Reasons why a LilyPond-to-MEI conversion should be developed

Hello devs, I would like to get some feedback for use when preparing the mei2ly application. I will deliberately not say what I think about the topic to get less influenced opinions. We will have to define a scope for the project that is sufficiently big and at the same time not too small. Apart

David, I appreciate all you do to bring us a better LilyPond. As much as we all enjoy new feature releases, I also encourage you to continue with the important infrastructure work you often focus on, making the codebase more robust, maintainable, understandable. Glad to contribute! Javier ___

While MEI may be ‘universal’ in intent, it is just an open source project. Since lilypond is open source, it would make sense for the open source community to cooperate. But how many people use MEI, and how much traction has it gained? Is it universally favoured? In other words, is consideratio
