I'm 72. I started using Lilypond because it's free, and easy to use for a quick-and-dirty job.
I've continued to use it for its ability to set Renaissance music: scholarly appendages to notes, incipits, Petrucci style breves and longs, indefinite length terminal longs... It's a lot better than what I did in the early 70's doing ASCII art for pieces from the Odhecaton! From that I moved on to doing some work with Don Byrd's engraving program, originally done with a pen and ink plotter. Bockett Hunter Bockett1.Hunter AT gmail . com
