Thanks for the info and encouragement. I'd like to comment on some of what was said in this thread...

Even though Finale and Sibelius are both "graphical" you still have to learn "how" to enter the notes, and setting a full score in one of those programs can be a huge job if you don't know all the tricks. I think I will now take a dive into Lilypond and see how long it takes me to learn the basics. Hey, that could be a good tag line for pushing Lilypond. "Take a dive into Lilypond and refresh your musical experience." ;) Thanks again, David _______________________________________________ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
