Hi Antonio, Ben, Urs, others, The idea of writing a "Guide to writing an orchestral score with LilyPond" is a very, very good idea. Not replacing the learning manual but as an addition with e.g. an orchestral example build in stages (with all the intermediate files available for who is interested to follow the process in detail. I'm convinced that for LilyPond to be succesfull, the learning curve for new users or users attempting other projects has to flatten out. The only drawback I can think of now (for this "Guide") would be that it might be better to start with a smaller example first (e.g. a guide to write a SATB piece or smaller lead sheet). To get the process right before drowning in a large example. I would suggest to keep this discussion on the list because I think many more people are interested (or will be). Of course "work" emails excluded. As I'm a regular LilyPond user (I started as a enduser nine years ago (v.2.2) with it, have been out of it for some years, but back for some months now), I've been looking for some place to contribute. And this might be a place for me to do so, depending on what is asked for: What skills do you expect?, What will be the basic tools to work with (LilyPond-book?) ?, What will be the speed (work pressure) needed?, etc. I've written documentation texts for years, so I think I can probably fit in. But most of all I can't guarantee the speed. But a project like this will need more persons working together, I'm not very acquainted by how the LilyPond user group organizes this behind the screens. And just starting out of the void will most likely lead to failure. Can someone brief me on how such a group starts, how to share info., tools, communicate, etc? And most important: Am I welcome on this adventure? Regards, Wim. On 8 Jan 2013, at 21:35 , Urs Liska wrote:
