Hi Urs, >> Time for a Lilypond Publishing House... > I'd say rather push LilyPond into the existing publishing houses.
Why not both? > And I think changes have never been better for that than now. True. In my opinion, here — in order of importance — are the things we need to make established houses sit up and take notice: 1. Flawless MusicXML import and export. 2. Better “pixel-level” control of objects. 3. A finely-tuned stylesheet system. 4. Excellent, “turnkey" edition control features. 5. Several examples of fairly complex engravings, presented with “best practice” coding. #4 is nearly in place, thanks to Jan-Peter. #3 would take, in my estimation, about 10 person-hours to prepare an exemplar set of stylesheets (I’d be happy to do this myself), and 5-10 hours to create an appropriate stylesheet-loading function. #5 could be put together in “no time”. #2 would require some fundamental changes to Lilypond — likely this is the largest hurdle. #1 is the next largest hurdle. Thoughts? Kieren. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
