![]() ![]() What I mean - the beginnings and endings of the arcs, thickness, floating angle and control points for long span and so on. The biggest concern of mine: can you control in details (long) slurs as in Sibelius or Finale, because those, many shared sample, found in internet, are looking IMO a bit confusing if not problematic. How useful is the program when the parts need to be extracted? How big and sophisticated score can be done and can the user decide custom size for page format? How about your customers, when they need or request their back up files (archive) in order to fix themselves some mistakes or weaknesses, however slight, after many months or years? (since the compatibility from version to version is a serious thing).Ĭan you manually control the horizontal spacing of single note without touching the vertical (in dense orchestral scores usually)? Is it faster of slower? How you find practical solution looking on this limited part of the screen, where the compiled view appears? In addition - I visit sites and watched more than 20 videos and I am really very intrigued from some of the result I've seen.Īnd the next questions: can you compare the work on Lilypond with the same processes done in Sibelius or Finale? In other words - I do appreciate the real things in this life that bring aesthetically approach to our souls.ĭoes the work with the Lilypond deliver such kind of pleasure of going through the touch of every element? Just to get the picture of myself and related interests – I still continue taking pictures on Film (mainly BW and develop manually) though I have pretty good digital camera. I feel myself here surrounded with colleges and friends and not of beginners (as in Finale Forum), who desperately need some help on very base level. Please, do not consider my question as a provocation. "Why do you prefer LilyPond since there are many other application – most of them you know for sure and even better than me, because I specialised only in Finale?" ![]() I have a very sincere question to you friends: For this piano composer, MuseScore is just easier to handle.All other colleagues who work mainly with LilyPond: ![]() If input speed were my sole consideration, I might try using LilyPond and Frescobaldi for banjo tabs, or something else with only one staff.īut my understanding is MuseScore can do tablature too-and editing a multi-stave piano score makes far more sense to me in that program than it does LilyPond. In LilyPond, you have to go hunting through text, run the engraving process again, then pray you aligned everything correctly. Mess up in MuseScore, you can directly cut, paste, and adjust on the score. While shifting notes and phrases around can also be a pain in MuseScore, it’s a nuisance-pain, not an MC-Escher-word-puzzle-being-solved-through-a-laparoscope pain. If you look up “self-taught” I’m at least in an example sentence. And folks, I just taught myself how to typeset a novel in Scribus from the ground floor. One note gets shifted, then-bazoom!- both staves are misaligned and it’s very heard-wrapsy to fix it all on the text side.Ģ) Though the documentation claims there’s a way to set up staves one atop another, I just couldn’t figure it out. This was extra apparent when adding new notes and phrases in the middle of completed measures. Once I got used to it, the text input was MIGHTYFAST and I loved it and wished it would go on forever.īUT I don’t think it’s a good tool for piano sheet music.īecause 1) setting up the right hand section in paragraphs in separate-but-parallel sections to the left hand got old quickly, despite Frescobaldi highlighting which text part corresponded to which printed notes. Plus, Frescobaldi played the music back to me. And when you pair it with the free program Frescobaldi, the “coding” becomes close to What You See Is What You Get, once you hit that lily pad button. That’s the promise of the free program LilyPond: beautifully engraved sheet music made with fast (text-based) input. If I had never coded before in HTML and CSS, I’d say it was like magic. When done, I pressed the little green lily pad button in Frescobaldi to see my plain text turned into beautifully-engraved music in the tiled window just next to my text editor. Never in all my years of writing and adapting music in MuseScore did note entry go so fast. Pictured: me inputting musical notes in LilyPond ![]()
