Hi Andrew, > Is it that you want more than one person to edit the LilyPond source > simultaneously?
Not literally simultaneously… but "at the same time" (q.v. Lilybin). That is, we could be on Zoom (or whatever) talking about the music, and the student and I could alternately edit and save the file (which the other could then see immediately). > Why could you not have the source file on say Google Drive, reflected > to the local computer, and edit with local LilyPond/Frescobaldi? I want to essentially eliminate the need for the students (or, in my wider vision, the general user) to install anything on their personal device. In February 2013, I wrote out a piccolo part for the overture to one of my musicals **at 7:30PM on opening night, in a browser (lilybin) on a computer in the theatre box office, which I then generated as a PDF and printed on the box office printer, and then handed it to the wind player at 7:55PM in time for the 8:00PM downbeat**. That was one of the most inspiring, empowering, and impressive things I’ve ever done — as in, it impressed me, and everyone in the orchestra, that it could even be done! But I happen(ed) to know how to code Lilypond files by hand; otherwise, I couldn’t have done that. I want to give music educators and their students that kind of power and flexibility, without requiring them to learn how to write Lilypond code from scratch.
