Because we (the community) could offer a turn-key, no-cost [up front, anyway!] installation for any college, university, or composition teacher to create great-looking music with their students. More to the point: I’m a Lilypond power-user, and I don’t currently suggest Lilypond for any of my college or private students. If there were a free, web-accessible, "code-free" GUI for Lilypond, I would 100% recommend it to all my students. I would also immediately suggest it as the de facto standard for all the colleges where I am on faculty. Ergo: an open-source license would IMMEDIATELY help in its success. QED ;) Cheers, Kieren. ________________________________ Kieren MacMillan, composer (he/him/his) ‣ website: www.kierenmacmillan.info ‣ email: kie...@kierenmacmillan.info
