I'm considering entering some of my music in an
international
competition. However, the organization accepts scores only in one of the
three formats indicated in the subject line. Thus, I need to find
someone who has one or more of those apps and can help recast my lovely
LilyPond scores into an acceptable format. I doubt there's a nice simple
LP-to-proprietary-format conversion utility, so is there anyone here who
can advise and/or assist me in the conversion process ?
Very nice of them to insist upon closed software formats, huh?
These organizations should be encouraged to support/allow open formats such as
musicML or such, or for finished engraving, something most everyone could
produce such as PDF.
Finale's least expensive version won't set one back too much and might even
work in Wine. Sibelius is lovely but big bucks. There are opensource upstarts
with WYSIWYG GUI (which lilipond lacks) such as Musescore that are looking
quite nice.
