Re: Bach Cello Suite for Bassoon...Typed in LilyPond!!!

[Mark Mathias]

Hey Ryan, Tim, et al.,

I'm a double bassist who has enjoyed playing these cello suites for years. I also used to be managing editor of a music publisher in the days when engraving was done with a re-built Olympia typewriter and hand-drawn slurs. A single page of melody, words and guitar chords would require 30 man-hours of work to produce a camera-ready copy. Computers were for accountants in those days. I fell in love with LilyPond after years of struggling with Finale and never liking the quality of the final product.

My Peters Edition of the Praeludium shows 9 staves on page one and 11 on page two, and I think your original looks best so far.

Keep up the good work!

Mark Mathias

Hey Tim,

Here is an updated version where I did 10 on each page. Look at the penultimate line on the last page...it seems like no matter how I do it, I always get some sort of crammed measures. Any ideas?
