There are similar apps on the iPad, too, complete with Dropbox integration from plain text editing. I'm actually starting to use that on my iPad to jot down ideas.

Re: Lilypond on iPad
Why not use an iPhone/iPad app that reads PDF files that LilyPond produces. My friend wrote a great app for the iPad called Unreal Book, based on the Berklee Real Book. There's also an iPhone app that has songs with only chords and can transpose. You can check it out here: http://www.aronnelson.com/wordpress/2010/05/03/unrealbook-for-ipad-released/ http://www.diystompboxes.com/unrealbook/ There's a review of the latest version here: http://techinmusiced.wordpress.com/2010/07/09/theres-a-new-king-in-town-and-im-not-talking-about-lebron-in-miami/ iReal Book for the iPhone can be found here: http://irealbook.net/iReal_Book/Home/Home.html Aloha, Keith On Mon, Sep 27, 2010 at 10:32 PM, Martin Tarenskeen m.tarensk...@zonnet.nlwrote: Hi, I lost the original thread, but there was a posting recently about someone dreaming about an iPad music/score app using Lilypond.

But the way Apple thinks about publishing and licensing 3rd party software does not match very well with GNU open source ideas. If you mean a complete and usable LilyPond on the iPad, that's probably not really viable, see this report on porting TeX to the iPad (and LilyPond AFAIK works similar to TeX): http://meeting.contextgarden.net/2010/talks/2010-09-14-arthur-keynote/Keynote-iPad.pdf (Abstract: It's possible to run TeX, but typing is a pain, and due to Apple's restrictions file handling is very ugly, and you must close the app after every compile run.) The other idea was AFAIR a MIDI player with note display - a completely different animal.
