Hi All, I am a composer who is using Lilypond exclusively. I have used it for a choir and piano piece, flute and piano sonatas, piano pieces, numerous chamber works, and a full three movement trumpet concerto. It already is real world usage. I don't get the topic. Do you mean c

Big Measures in Large Ensemble

Hi, I am writing a large ensemble work, a saxophone concerto. The first movement is in 8/4. It has got to be an 8/4 because I am constantly shifting the 3+3+2 to 3+2+3 and 2+3+3 quality of beat emphasis and phrasing. The sax has 16th notes, often enough. This question may be a bit prem

Snare Brush Notation
