in the hope
that you found the time to update the LilyPond entry with
musings on how it's the greatest thing since sliced bread.
Dave is not doing his site for a living
I know that; if he did, I'd have been pestering him about this once a
week, the past four years. This is just my yearly request.
FWIW, I'm not doing LilyPond development for a living.
and when introducing updates, he just picks what
appears to be "the
essence" or "the catchline" in the releasenotes.
I can imagine that. Dave was spot-on in his first listing of LilyPond
seven years ago. But we've been working the living daylight out of
our lives, the past eight years, and that why I send a yearly please
update note.
You could have had mentioned that your format is
"Now supported by
Rosegarden", or "Ten out of nine brassplayers prefers LilyPond" etc ..
Ok, I suggest this new entry with catchline straight from
http://linuxmusician.com, with list of items. Here we go, (html
version attached below):
[1]GNU LilyPond: One of the best-known and most ambitious music
programs for Linux is the LilyPond score engraving system.

traditionally engraved music through automated engraving engine

* extensive [3]documentation, including [4]tutorial and a
[5]glossary of musical terms for non-native English speakers
