I've seen a forum split into subforums on the brand/kind of equipment people use, and the various subforums have their various discussions and contests and "usual suspects" and people tend to stick with their crowd even when they change brand for some reason. A complete mess for actually searching/finding information, but at least there the "unlikely to win many friends" prognosis does not seem to hold. Now here the LilyPond discussion lists are hosted by GNU which has a policy to avoid promoting proprietary software. And that's sort-of a line where people actually tend to get at least irritable. But it turns out that other Free Software (whether it uses LilyPond as a backend or not) is often in discussion here, particularly when its MusicXML workflow can be diverted for LilyPond-related purposes. Anyway, repeated chants of "but $x does it better" without providing any useful details is likely to annoy people (Free Software or not) since many here are eager to help and LilyPond can be made to do a whole lot once you know what you want to get done. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
