A bit of my LP background - - -
Several years ago I was asked by a local church-choir director to
prepare a couple of pieces for use by other church-groups. He knew that
I had used computers for preparing teaching and publication graphics of
one sort or another, and that I had done a little music 'engraving'
using an early version of Finale. When he suggested this project I
reviewed my use of, and degree of familiarity with, Finale and decided
that there should be another option, which eventually led me to
Lilypond. All of the use I've made of LP since has been transcribing
from mainly hand-written scores of unison or SATB choral works.
The first few years were an uphill struggle, notwithstanding the
existence of the Tutorial and Notation Reference manuals, and a really
useful resource has been the User-list :) .
Making use of templates and other completed LP files, and adapting
snippets etc., made my experience a lot less 'rocky' than it might
otherwise have been. I make no apology for making use of the vast
experience of subscribers to this list and am grateful that so many have
provided solutions to problems I've encountered from time to time.
It was with this in the back of my mind that I offered the 'schema' in
my earlier post in the hope that it would make life a little easier for
other users, particularly those who, like me, regard themselves as 'new
users'. :)
Thanks to all,
Regards,
Bill
