Re: Headword for unfretted-strings

[Jonathan Kulp]

I thought about using something from one of my own works when doing the 
fretted-strings headword, but all of my coolest stuff is published and I 
don't own the copyright anymore.  I do have some unpublished guitar 
music, but it wouldn't have displayed as many features of Lilypond as 
the Mertz example that I ended up using.

As for keyboards, I'd be happy to share a solo piano work of mine or 
even something for four-hands, as I still have copyright on these 
things.  Not sure if they'd be inspiring enough or not.  The solo piece 
"Tarantella" is already engraved in Lilypond and the source code can be 
downloaded here if you want to see it:

If I had anything for bowed strings I'd definitely use it, but I don't. 
   I'm about to start on the Beethoven excerpt...
