Yeah it's proving to be an interesting learning experience trying to
wrap my head around Lilypond. I feel it is like a multi-headed beast
with Scheme & Lilypond script intermingled together. It makes for an
interesting mix to get ones head around. The manuals are helpful but
there are hugh gaps for any new and inexperienced user such as myself.
As for the output and end result. Every single person to whom I have
presented printouts have only ever made very positive comments, from
wood-be musicians to music teachers and choir masters all are amazed
when I tell them I did this with a free music sheet program under
linux. I'm no musician but the first time I printed one of the sample
outputs it was easy to see Lilypond really does stand out amongst the
rest.
Just wish I could figure out the global variable reassignment
challenge so I can clean up my code and make it more presentable and
easier to maintain.

One other thing, much of the time I have questions, but do not know
how to ask the question. That is extremely frustrating and I don't
know if there is anything you can do about it. Sometimes i just
don't know the correct terminology to use. Many things that are
assumed when you are playing the music are not assumed when you are
typesetting the music. I've tripped over that one many times.
In most cases it is extremely helpful to provide a small image which
shows the problem you have. For example, you could use a paint
program of your choice to mark what you want to change.
