Sibelius is a really great software. It is not free, can't be run from
a wiki, but great, it even handles collisions pretty well.
Still I think it is worth spending time with LilyPond, it took me far
more than 1 month on the list, so congratulations, that you could
create complex scores after that short period of time.
I think there are cases when LilyPond is the perfect tool, and there
are situations when not.

around for a short while only. A month with lilypond and 3 weeks on the
list. Made a couple of scores, quite complex ones. But for each and
every one I had to fiddle for hours and hours trying to grab all the
details. All the while I had Sibelius at the ready and whenever I did
fallback finished the score in record time. This is not going to
continue I thought. I’d rather have a score that looks 85% than no
score at all. So for now it’s quits with Lilypond. Perhaps I’ll be
back, I just don’t know. All that helped, many thanks. I have now
disabled the posts from the list, any reply have to be personal.
Hou je goed
/ Keep well,
Is this the equivalent of quitting your job and telling all of
the people there "you're all a bunch of idiots!" except that no one
here really cares whether or not you use lilypond?
For what it's worth, I lasted about the first time I downloaded
lilypond back in 2005, and then maybe four months the next time. And it
really wasn't until the documentation was re-written, and I had the
time to devote three months to learning lilypond that I finally got it.
Until that time (and while I was writing the music for my senior
recital) I unhappily used finale.
