Hello,
Any sort of alphabetic medium for typesetting notes is
about as "right"
for a professional musician as it would be "right" for a programmer to
somehow write programs in the language of musical score. So Lilyopnd is
simply off track.
Can you explain why and "alphabetic medium" is not
"right"?
The success of TeX for formula editing came, I think,
from the fact that
TeX somehow matches the way a scientist *thinks* about a formula. But
IMHO, neither Lilypond nor any other alphabetic editor can approach the
way a musician thinks about score! And that's why this won't work.
Can you
explain how a musician thinks about a score, and how this cannot be
expressed in alphabetic editor?
