Re: Learn from Finale 2014 (seriously)?

[Jan-Peter Voigt]

Hi Urs,

there is a snippet in LSR:
http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=336

which did this for a long time. To me it seems, that finale learned from
lilypond ;)
I adapted it and integrated it in my own always-to-load-extensions and
use it in all my choral transcriptions.

Best, Jan-Peter
