Yes, I had a chat about that with Thomas Bonte.  LilyPond export was
in dire need of some love and the best thing to do with code that
needs a lot of love and does not get it, is to throw it out.

Janek told me that they use the Feta font, which might lead to think that
the typesetting "engine' is lilypond. But MuseScore has its own typesetting
engine.

Some weeks ago it's been reported here a tweet saying that MuseScore
developers will drop the lilypond export and focus on musicxml export.

Hi Graeme,

Oh ok thanks! I couldn't quite tell for sure because at a /quick /glance
MuseScore output looks a little like Lilypond, but then again once you
/really /look, not really at all. My eyes were clearly playing tricks on me
I guess.

Ben



Musescore uses the feta font (slightly modified) - which is why it might 
look almost identical at first glance.

Graeme

MuseScore output looks a little like Lilypond, but then again once you
/really /look, not really at all. My eyes were clearly playing tricks on me
I guess.

Hi Ben.

It's stand-alone (like Sibelius/Finale).

I used it before I knew better, I mean, knew about Lilypond.

MuseScore Front End

Hey everyone,

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question. I have never used MuseScore before
and I've looked into it quickly tonight. I'm confused about one aspect of it
- does it actually /use /LilyPond for it's engraving? Or is it a completely
separate and stand-alone engraving software that outputs on its own? I
didn't know if it was some sort of front end like Frescobaldi or simply not
Lily-/anything /at all.
