Hi.. Just saw your post.
I've been using Lily for my band. Eastern European stuff, similar enough to
Celtic as far as charts go. I'm also a recently retired teacher, and use
Linux. Go for it, you'll be happy once you get used to it. Ubuntu is very
good. Frescobaldi and Lilypond.
I set up a chart template. I can send you that if you want. The tune below
is just a filled out version of the template.
