Hello, I'm about to download Frescobaldi, but I don't know whether Kde is for all platforms or Linux only. I want to speed up my structure construction (to say, a large orchestral score's stave structure--Orchestrallily has many limitations), but LilyPondTool uses Java, which can't be accessed

Pdf Toolkit (http://www.pdfhacks.com/pdftk/) is a handy commandline tool for manipulating pdfs. It's useful for extracting pages from Lilypond-generated pdfs; adding pretty titlepages made with (ahem) other apps; inserting the odd page of real Lilypond output into pdfs made with OOo; and alter

Missing petrucci-f clef (and other missing clefs)

Hi, lilypond provides one petrucci style f clef (called "petrucci-f"). Unfortunately, this is not really sufficient: similar to the C clefs, f clefs can be placed on various staff lines. Lilypond provides different f clefs for modern notation (bass, subbass, varbaritone) but not for petrucci
