Hello all,

Just in case this doesn’t make it to the poll stage…

Age: I am 46 (as of two weeks ago)

Editor Usage: I recently switched to using Frescobaldi, after more than a 
decade of using Lilypad (i.e., the built-in editor that ships with the Mac OS X 
binary).

Lilypond Usage: I am a composer. (Actually, as of my birthday I’m now a 
full-time composer: I “retired” from my erstwhile dual career in music and 
computer programming.) So, naturally, >95% of my Lilypond usage is for 
engraving original compositions. (I do transcribe/transpose/etc. a few existing 
compositions from time to time, but that’s a very small part of my overall 
workflow.)

Hope that helps!
Kieren.
