Re: My finances for working on LilyPond

If I can throw in a couple thoughts: My experience with open-source projects has usually been that they are, largely, labors of love. Almost none of them manage to run as commercial enterprises unless they somehow managed to capture a new market segment at some point (like Red Hat Linux trying

The first patch fixed this particular error, but I found futher errors and eventually stoped using LilyPond for this score (if I remember correctly, it has been 4 years...). I don't have this material here, since I gave up LilyPond for this project. Probably one can find it again just doing a
