That sounds good for me too. I know there are other projects (schikkers and denemo), but the thing is: MuseScore just got there first, it already works and those 2 million downloads reflects that. I know they use very different tools, MuseScore is coded in Qt/C++ (which is good because it is very fast and cross platform) but I guess can be a problem for Lily devs to work in MuseScore and vice-versa. It is so similar to Sibelius/Finale paradigm that it could convert most of Sibelius/Finale users very rapidly just because of the possibility of the integrated use LilyPond. Some of those MuseScore users eventually would prefer to enter the music directly in LilyPond format after a few months, others would choose to enter the notes with the method they already learned from Sibelius and just polish it later with LilyPond. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
