If you are just interested by the font and a WYSIWYG editor, you should try musescore. If I'm not wrong this GNU program uses Feta/Emmentaler. It's not Finale but it's free ;) Of course, you'll not have all the feature set of lilypond. Lasconic Albert Frantz-2 wrote:

Another way is to use MuseScore : http://www.musescore.org Lilypond output is quite beta for the moment, but to get the pitches it should be ok I guess. MIDI input is working on windows and linux. You can even use a prerelease for ubuntu : http://prereleases.musescore.org/linux/ M Watts wrot

stacked markup with parenthesis

2008-04-14 Thread lasconic
Hi all ! I'm looking for a way to display a text on several lines with parenthesis around the line (no bracket, round parenthesis). I tried \columns and \center-align. That's ok to stack texts but how can I put parenthesis around ? (like \bracket does for squared bracket). Thks a lot ! Example :

You can also try MuseScore on Windows and Linux. The lilypond output is decent and the community is very alive. The development team is quite responsive as well. http://www.musescore.org Btw, can Musescore be added to the FAQ ? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Canorus-tp

That's great! Thanks a lot! Just a question, do you think it's possible to have left/right as a param instead of defining a scheme function for each one ? For example, you might want to have more option like use [ instead of ( and then you need to create two others functions and new LBC/RBC and i
