Yes, and we've had an open request for "help wanted: make a page
showing off different editors" for the past 3 years...

I accidentally missed copying the "6", giving me a rather odd
introduction to lilypond.  But you know, we *could* make a user
interface like that... we could have a row of imps, and every time
you shot one, it would give you a note in the scale.  Your choice
of weapon (1-8) would give you different durations, and hitting a
cacodemon would change clef...  :)

In the lingo of teenagers these days, "FUND IT!"

Discussion of different editing environments (with screenshots)
will go in LM 1 -- before even the tutorial.  That's not going to
start until I'm finished the website[1], though.

[1] either by actually finishing the work, or delegating it to
volunteers.
