I did not even realize there was a lilypond blog... thanks for reminding
everyone!

Questions:
1) Would you be willing to publish an article about how Music Blocks (a
visual coding language for music. Homepage at
https://www.musicblocks.net) software generates lilypond code and how
one can use Music Blocks software as an entry point to lilypond?

2) Would you be willing to publish articles created by High School
students participating in Google Code-in (GCI)? I could draft a task and
we could have some kids write about their experience learning Lilypond
from Music Blocks. Of course, you would still have the final say as to
whether or not the blog posts would meet your standards and be published.

Otherwise, I could write something, but the above options would be fun
and the idea is off the table in a few weeks as the GCI contest closes
in mid-January.

Best,
