Kieren, what you are suggesting definitely makes sense. The more examples the better, especially if they are written in a style and with comments that make it easy to follow what you are doing with the lily code and possibly why. > Nick Busigin wrote: > > > Having a collection of well documented/commented complete examples > > (bookcases) is a very good idea.

I don't disagree with your assessment. My purpose was merely to point out that a resource exists something along the lines of what you want. So, you definitely have a place to put the examples you develop. In the mean time, there are examples which I'm starting to dig into and learn from. While we are on the topic of examples, my wife and I would be interested in contributing a complete lead sheet example. However, we don't wish to place the composition in the public domain. I think that rules Mutopia out. Is there a license other than a public domain one that we could use and still allow free distribution of the lead sheet and the lily code?
