Re: Bertalan Fodor LilyPondTool 2.14.9 release (the last for the foreseeable, future)

Dear Mr. Fodor

I want to thank You for Your great work with the jEdit Lilypond tool. 
Although I have moov'd on to use Frescobaldi as my front end I used Your 
Lilytool  extensively for several years both professionally as a 
teacher  of music and for more or less serious works of love: 
transcribing early music, composing, editing Orthodox polyphonic chant 
etc..   Your tool was the only really functionable front end for a 
windows user before Frescobaldi got their windows version running.

The Lilytool and its jEdit underlying editor still has many features 
that work better than Frescobaldi amongst others the greater possibility 
make your own plugs on the plug (had a project running consisting of  
making a app to feed in lyrics to different model melodies in Russian  
orthodox chant in multiple voices. It sadly potter'd out due to the 
usual: not time enough.)
My switch was mainly because of a more reliable point and click, midi 
player and a more functional code completion in Fresco. Your Wizards 
have in my opinion a better functionality than the fresco wizards as 
does the way to make and include your own code snippets.

I'm sad to hear that the lilytool era now seems to go the way of the 
world. My best wishes to You and a lot of thanks from.
