Mr. McClure,
On two previous mailings I have extoled the values of Lilypond for the new
user (loaded mine this last March), or what might be called its "out of the
box" capabilities. Since installation I have transcribed 20+ piano scores
for my own study and use. All of them are crisper than the published version
and are more uniformly spaced on the page.

While I think this is a good idea, I have a few reasons to hesitate. We
don't want to just promote LilyPond to expert users; wouldn't we want any
user to switch over? Any professional can make anything look good. An expert
Micro$oft Paint user could probably reproduce the Mona Lisa if given enough
time.
What LilyPond does better than Finale/Sibelius is more excellent default
engraving. How many times have people used Finale and gotten that dreaded
last-bar-on-its-own-page problem? I believe the best test would be using
ONLY defaults for Finale, Sibelius, and LilyPond to show what the programs
can do--not what experienced users can do.
