Hello Jeff,
This may be a little bit off-topic, but I recalled that while I was playing
with PageMaker trying to layout some pages for our Yearbook, I tried using
it to typeset a blank music sheet, and it is easy and works great! :-)
Just draw a horizontal line, and do a multiple paste (4 times) to get a
system, and then select the whole system and multiple-paste it 8 times or
whatever. There. :-)
And it probably would be quite simple to do for someone who knows PostScript
programming. A TeXpert might be able to do it too. But yeah, it would be
neat if there is a way to do it easily in LilyPond too. :-)
Cheers,
Anthony
