I think this whole thread is very useful. Thanks for initiating it! And
I totally agree about the value of this list for learners (and others).
Of the many I subscribe to, it's always been the best, by quite a margin.

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
