Re: (hypothetical) Availability of LilyPond engravers

[Jan-Peter Voigt]

Hi Urs,

well at times I try to earn some money with lilypond. And sometimes I 
do. But it is far less than it needs to be, so that I don't need to work 
in other fields.
But you can count me in, if you need someone ;)

Best,
Jan-Peter
