Re: my articles and astroturfng LWN

There's been quite some bashing on Sibelius from the LilyPond side as well, so we should probably not complain too much. I think we can agree that both LilyPond and Sibelius are among the better options when it comes to typesetting quality, right? /Mats Valentin Villenave wrote: 2009/4/3
