Re: Prospective Lilypond user looking for others who are setting traditional music.

Hi, Philip.

What you want to do should be pretty easy.  There is a utility called abc2ly 
that converts music coded in ABC notation into LilyPond code.  If you are 
familiar with traditional music you may already know that there is a huge 
volume of traditional music (fiddle, whistle, etc.) on the Net in ABC format.  
Your task may be as easy as downloading the tunes you want in ABC format and 
converting them to LilyPond format.

LilyPond also has a book feature allowing you to prepare your whole book using 
LilyPond.

Good luck.
