Hello all! Just a note to announce my newest Lilypond engraving: my Chaconne for unaccompanied violin (2001). (You can download the score at <http://kierenmacmillan.info/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Chaconne_letter.pdf>.)
There are still some improvements I’m planning to make over the next little while — for me, tweaking the engraving of a score can be as endless as revising the composition itself ;) — and it’s not going to win any international music publication awards (cf. Urs & Janek!). All that being said, I’m pretty proud of it. Despite the fact that the piece was written almost fourteen years ago, and has had multiple performances and even a commercial CD recording, this is the first time I’ve made the score available to the public: the original score, engraved using the now-defunct Igor Engraver, never lived up to my aesthetic standards, and in fact was the reason I ended up moving to Lilypond the following year. Thanks to everyone in the ‘Pond, especially: the development team, old (Han-Wen et al.) and new (David K. and David N. et al.); Jan-Peter, for the \editionEngraver (which saved hours of frustration making this score look the way it does); and all those who have given me great assistance on the list over the years. I included a little shout-out to Lilypond in the score’s Colophon — my way of continuing to tell the world that Lilypond makes the most beautiful scores. All the best, Kieren. _______________________ Kieren MacMillan, composer www: <http://www.kierenmacmillan.info> email: i...@kierenmacmillan.info _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
