Thanks to Kieren, David, and Phil for your responses. Kieren, that was a
fantastic snippet.
I guess I would be willing to help, but I have no where to begin to start
that process. I would love to come up with some documentation on
contemporary music, but it seems that LilyPond does convential stuff REALLY
well, in contrast to contemporary music which takes heavy tweaking and
coding to accomplish it.
So, if there is something I can do to help out with the documentation, let
me know!
IC,
Josh
