Hi Stefano,  I’m sure it would’ve been nicer, but life is short and I’m old, with way too many projects already (thirteen of them public, all FOSS). Thanks for the suggestions, but I’ve been programming in Windows since 1999, and wrestling with Linux is not on my bucket list. I agree that fragm

Hi all, I'm a composer and a software developer, and I started using LilyPond only a week ago. I'm very impressed with LilyPond; its functionality and documentation are outstanding. I had previously tried Sibelius and MuseScore, but had many issues with them. I spent much of the last week conver
