Re: Using Lilypond

[Rick Hansen (aka RickH)]

I agree, I do arranging for school bands, choirs, barbershop, and my own
work, etc. and I've been asked by other teachers to typeset pieces for them
as side jobs after they saw my lily output.  The real power of lily over GUI
programs is in the ability to make templates and re-use them, and in the
ability to set up command-line "jobs" that can compile and assemble whole
books, by simply using whatever scripting host your platform provides.  The
level of consistency is so much better than GUI programs where you have to
do everything as a "one off", separately working/massaging each document
individually.

Using the mailing list for a well-deserved pat on the back should not be a
problem from time to time.  It is a great contribution to musicians the
world over.
