I’m an aspiring LilyPond contributor who needs a mentor. How can I get one?
So far I can compile LilyDev itself and the documentation, and I’m becoming
familiar with git. I’m looking at the LilyPond Contributor’s Guide, but I have
to admit that it’s a bit overwhelming. I’m a recently retired software engineer
highly experienced with C++, less with Unix and open-source development, and
not at all with Scheme. I’m not a musician, and I’ve used LilyPond only for toy
examples so far. However, I once knew a lot about using computers to engrave
music, as I was the principal investigator for the MusiCopy Project at Ohio
State University in the 1980s. I’m sure that much has changed since then, but
I’m pleased to say that LilyDev looks to be very much like what MusiCopy might
have been if we’d had an opportunity to complete it. I’d like to help further
the LilyPond project in some way.
