my annual (?) thank you
Dear Lilypond Development Team and Mailing List Members, A few days ago, I delivered yet another Lilypond-engraved score to the commissioner. He has 300+ new scores submitted to him every year (he’s well-known in the new chamber music scene), and conducts dozens and dozens of concerts (of both "new" and "old" music) with orchestras and ensembles of all kinds — and he outright stated “Nobody’s scores look as great as yours… not even the scores I get from The A-Listers, published by established print houses.” I simply couldn’t get that response without Lilypond (Thank you, Han-Wen and Jan and David K and the other developers past and present!), Cadence (Thank you, Abraham!), the edition-engraver (Thank you, Jan-Peter and Urs!), and all of the incredible help I get on this list especially when I’m scrambling to meet commission deadlines (Thank you, Davids K & M and Harm and Trevor and Andrew and Torsten and Carl and a hundred others!). With gratitude, Kieren.

Thank you, Graham!
Graham, let me express my gratitude for all work you did on LilyPond. I have to admit that when i began my LilyPond adventure, you seemed to be scary and unenthusiastic, very down-to-the-earth. However, as the time passed i have learned that this impression was wrong, and that you are a vital part of this community, doing lots of work that nobody else wanted to do, organizing our efforts and introducing order into Lily development. I believe that your realistic approach was good and that it saved us a good deal of disappointments and wasted effort. I have also learned from you, and i'm sure that your leadership (if i may use this word) will be inspiring to me in the future. I wish you all the best and i hope that despite your presence on the mailing lists will be limited, we'll have the opportunity to work together.

Re: Thank you so much
Thanks for the kind words. I am not much involved with LilyPond anymore, so forwarding your mail to the development list.

I've found that transcription helps my sight reading, so I've been spending hours and hours writing out my favorite drum tracks by hand. I found your software last night and in no time I was spewing out charts left and right, on my LINUX machine! I love open source software and I love music, so this program is just about the coolest thing I've found in a long time. Thanks so much for the work put into it, it is much appreciated. My only regret is not knowing about it sooner. You guys should put up a donation link, I'd be glad to send some cash your way.

Thank you.
Hello: I just wanted to thank you for this fine piece of work. I've just started exploring what lilypond can do, and I have to say I am deeply impressed. It is apparent that you not only are fine programmers, but also that you have a wonderful sense of the beauty of engraved music. That is something I have seldom heard discussed, but that I believe is important to those who read music. As you hinted, a musician can probably do with just about any old grouping of notes on a page - but the beauty of fine engraving adds to the experience.

Anyway, just thank you for a wonderful program. -Baruch ___ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
