I hope Lilypond will fully support tex output in the future,
because this makes it much easyer for those of us who use
mudela-book. With tex-output, if the music spans over several
score lines, it is possible to have a page break between the
lines. This is difficult to do in postscript.

Do I hear someone announce a music composition tool add-on written
in guile? Give Lilypond a theme, and it will write a fuga... :-)

Yes!!

I like \key c \major; better.

don't sound so good. Also in Lilypond, when you use uppercase letters
you often mean one octave down.
