Once you've mastered the learning curve, though, you'll probably find that LilyPond is as quick as they come, and it's much more configurable too. Still, there are options, depending on your operating system. I don't know what exists in the Windows world, but in Linux-land there are NoteEdit, RoseGarden, Denemo which have GUIs and can export to LilyPond. You might also be able to use another GUI, and perhaps convert the output with one of the LilyPond convertors. Another option is a halfway approach --- use a text editor that supports LilyPond. This makes things a lot easier, because it will highlight the structure of your file, run LilyPond for you, and a host of other things. For more info look at http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.10/Documentation/user/lilypond/Editor-support.html#Editor-support Finally, to add to my message yesterday have a look at Section 4 of the 2.10 manual --- it's got lots of tips about how to structure your files to minimise problems. -- ============================================= Cameron Horsburgh ============================================= ----- End forwarded message ----- -- ============================================= Cameron Horsburgh ============================================= _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
