Rick, Like you I'm a musician and not a programmer, also
running Win XP, with Lilypond 2.10. I found the LilyPondTool for jEdit makes things quite
simple. You really should give it a try. I haven't figured out all the tricks yet but at least
I'm off to a start!
Thanks for the tip on LP 2.11. I noticed some collisions
between text, slurs, and articulations while inputting Strauss' First Horn
Concerto (mostly just to learn, but once I'm done I'll have a *clean* copy!)
with 2.10, and the What's New notice for 2.11 indicates that those will
be fixed in the new version. Yay!
BTW, I noticed (because I'm a horn player!) that Han-Wen
Nienhuys input quite a bit of horn music. Han-Wen, are you a horn player?
