Re: Lilypond lobbying?

[Francois Planiol]

Somebody wrote here, constructive criticism, this should be.

I am sure that this is not so.

First, one must be able to express his feelings, that helps. And i
dont come back over what I said
Second, constructive criticism directed to people that dont want to
know anything else than what there is in there very limitated
eye-sight is loosen effort.

If mike wants to compose for organ, there are many possibilities for
him to make a name under organists, without offering his time for
these portuguese guys (though I enjoy that organistic portugal
continues to awakes and is in some topics far away before Spain)

Lets say, easy2play music for worship, easy2play music for organ and
voice and one oblig. instrument, pedagogic music for organ (like music
allowing practice of practicle harmony and counterpoint), wedding
music for organ, 2 tp and 2 Tb etc etc etc
