And if you add a musician that would do a recording of the piece and release it for free (as in "free software", not only "free beer") you would obtain something like the "Open Goldberg Variations" project. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/293573191/open-goldberg-variations-setting-bach-free There it's MuseScore that is used as typesetting software. http://musescore.org/en/node/10118 There is also the idea of a "LilyPond score sharing website", similar to musescore.com . http://musescore.com/upgrade As I said: "IIRC lasconic (Nicolas Froment) said the 3 main developers of MuseScore (Werner Schweer, Thomas Bonte and himself) are now working full-time on MuseScore" [thanks to their "fundings"]. Several users/contributers, including Janek, showed some interest in a "MuseScore-LilyPond synergy". BTW I have read that there is a project of "Smart coupling" between Audiveris (open-source Optical Music Recognition) and MuseScore. http://fosdem.org/2012/schedule/event/audiveris A kind of "synergy" (in both directions) between the file format of musescore and .ly would also allow a conversion musicxml <-> musescore <-> .ly . Don't know if that would be "easy" though. I sent an e-mail to lasconic to have further informations about all I say (all I "kind of remember").
