[linux-audio-user] homemade music -- notation

Recently I posted a link to a rough-draft recording I made of a piece I composed some days ago, "Abstraction 1 for Piano"-- OGG version: http://www.xscd.com/pub/music/audio/ogg/abstraction-1-for-piano.ogg MP3 version: http://www.xscd.com/pub/music/audio/mp3/abstraction-1-for-piano.mp3 I decided to use the piece as an excuse to dig into the music notation program LilyPond again and try to improve my rudimentary skills: http://www.lilypond.org/ If anyone cares to see the score, or hear the rather mechanical sounding MIDI file produced by LilyPond from the source code of the score, they are here: PDF score: http://www.xscd.com/pub/music/scores__notation/pdf/abstraction-1-for-piano.… MIDI file: http://www.xscd.com/pub/music/midi/abstraction-1-for-piano.mid I love LilyPond. It takes a bit of learning and getting used to, but it is really a great program.
