I use the same emacs config (no suprise:). In the score creation phase, one spend most of the time entering notes, thus a tool that helps entering notes accurately (ie fast entry and immediate playback) is a must have. There are few pitch mistakes (mostly time mistakes remain). Seeing how quick I typed the last scores I made, I would not go back to the old "type all the letters" painful approach. nicolas _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
