I mostly use lilypond for Renaissance polyphony, where the original performers didn't have access to scores, and I feel strongly that modern performers can play better from parts, so that they have to learn how their part fits with the others by ear instead of by eye. But having access to the score does help modern performers analyze, and that analysis can certainly speed up rehearsals and maybe even improve the performance. And I do produce a score in the process of getting the parts typeset and proofread. And of course, anyone who installs [the right version of] lilypond can print the score as well as the parts. For quite a while, I wasn't putting the score PDF's up on my site <http://www.laymusic.org> at all, but now I've decided that the scores Lily makes are so bad that nobody would be tempted to perform from them if they had access to a nice part with good spacing and *a lot* fewer page turns. So I have recently modified my scripts so that the score appears at the end of the parts. -- Laura (mailto:lcon...@laymusic.org http://www.laymusic.org/ ) (617) 661-8097 233 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02139 The dipsomaniac and the abstainer are not only both mistaken, but they both make the same mistake: They both regard wine as a drug and not as a drink.
