Hi David, > The situation is not really all that unfavorable for LilyPond.
Having been “in the trenches” perhaps more than most others on this list, I can tell you the situation *is* really all that unfavorable for Lilypond. In my opinion, there are only two things that will ever change this: 1. A real, live, useable, full-functioned GUI (so that users *never* have to see Lilypond “code”); or 2. Robust (i.e., essentially ‘transparent’) MusicXML input/output (so that users can input items in the tool of their choice, and use Lilypond for output only). Cheers, Kieren. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
