Bigbro's foray into the scary world of blogging
I've been playing with Lilypond over the past few days and have just finished writing up my first piece of lilypond music. I've been looking for a better, more powerful method of notating traditional music than Finale Notepad and abc. Further experimentation with abc2ly (a convertor that translates abc format to lilypond syntax) has been quite disappointing. It doesn't appear to respect key signatures and often generates lilypond output that can't be processed by the lilypond interpreter. I'll look at this in more detail in the near future, time permitting.
I've written up my first whistle piece for the year, Shoe The Donkey, using Lilypond. I'll add more pieces over the coming days and weeks.
