Publishers using LilyPond?

2012-08-14 Thread Daniel E. Moctezuma
Hello,

I was wondering if there are (well-known) sheet music publishing companies
(or engraving services) using GNU LilyPond, if so which ones?

So far I know there are many composers/musicians on this list who use it,
as well as web services providing an online IDE/editor, what about the
companies/ engraving services?
It seems a lot of them had been focusing on Finale/Sibelius for a long time.

Hi Daniel,

That topic has cropped up before (maybe more than once) - search for a thread 
called Lilypond lobbying in the archive. 

I have asked Schott Publishing about that, and here's what they replied (in my 
own translation, German original below):



Basically, we can handle all music file formats that can be converted
to either Finale or Sibelius, which are the main programs we work with.
Those two programs have proved to be most suited for achieving our
engraving style.
It has become standard over the last few years that publishers and
composers deliver their finished scores to us, which doesn't preclude
post-editing in our house. For those cases too, we will ask you for
Finale- or Sibelius-readable files since those are easiest to handle. It
isn't, however a knock-out criterion - in certain cases, we will do
in-house engravings of handwritten manuscripts.


Grundsätzlich können wir mit allen Notendaten arbeiten, die sich
entweder nach Finale oder Sibelius konvertieren oder umwandeln lassen.
Das sind die beiden Haupt-Programme mit denen wir heute arbeiten. Sie
haben sich im Laufe der Jahre etabliert und bewährt und passen am besten
zu den Anforderungen unseres Stichbildes. 
Es ist in den letzten Jahren zum Standard geworden, dass Herausgeber
oder Autoren die Notendateien ihrer Werke für den Notensatz fertig bei
uns abliefern (was eine Nachbearbeitung hier im Hause nicht
ausschließt). In diesen Fällen bitten wir entsprechend auch um Daten für
Finale und Sibelius, da diese am einfachsten zu verarbeiten sind. 
Ausschlusskriterium für die Annahme eines Werkes ist dies jedoch nicht,
vereinzelt wird auch noch nach handschriftlichen Manuskripten direkt
hier im Hause gesetzt. 



Maybe now would be a good time to demonstrate to publishers what Lilypond has 
to offer. 

Best, Robert
