It would also be wonderful if I had known about LilyPond at the time. I wouldn't have spent so many soul-crushing hours redoing so so many things after a layout change, finding inexplicably disappeared accidentals after a rebarring, individually positioning and repositioning page numbers. Plus much of it was algorithmic. A "version-control system" that consisted of saving lots of numbered files or printing. Oh, I don't want to think about it. David
