Hi Gabriel, > *By the way, I’d welcome recommendations of the best mechanical pencils for > annotating music (off-list, please, since this is not about LilyPond).
It may be helpful to others, so I split the thread. :) > I was excited about my first Rotring 600, and there is a lot that I like > about it, but also it frustrates me often, and I’d like to try another model. I simply can’t do “mechanical pencils” [with sub-mm lead] — too flimsy and uninspiring. I use a Staedtler Mars Technico 2mm Lead Holder like this: https://www.staples.ca/products/977655-en-staedtler-mars-technico-2mm-lead-holder-metal-grip I have a range of leads available, but tend to use an HB to markup and a 2B or B for composition. My 750 has a lead sharpener cleverly built into the thumb-push, so that’s taken care of. Hope that helps!
