I love Lilypond! I wrote all of my pieces in that in college. Hated Finale & Sibelius. It’s been ages since I’ve messed with it, but gosh it’s nice to see in the wild!!

It looks like they wanted to encorporated as many faces as possible in their syntax.

Interesting. I had never heard of LilyPond before. I do a lot of music scoring using abc notation and even wrote myself a GUI to help with that, but it’s interesting to see that there is another script language for generating sheet music.

!! I love LilyPond. Found in back in 2010 when I installed Ubuntu for the first time and wanted an alternative to Finale…first OSS software I probably knowingly used. I felt like a real coder typing my music. Frescobaldi is a nice compliment to LilyPond. I still use LilyPond to this day
