Hello, I'm a clarinetist, I used lilypond, realy great tool. I'm using linux since 10 years, vim is my editor. I'm not a mouse-adict user. But as Donal Knuth seems to say : I can't act like mathematician, it's not what I am. Il like lilypond, and Contex. I like the may they manage to produce beautiful pdf. But I must be honest : I'll never be able to learn all the languages they use : It's not my job (i'm physiotherapist !), I'm not using these tools all days. I'm ok to learn but it's an evidence that I'll never be able to use more than 20-30% of what these tools are… it's sad ! So, for me, something like an unified markup language would be the best. XML or whatever… but just one :o). Sorry for my bad english. Olivier. -- [Message tapé sur un clavier Bépo : http://www.clavier-dvorak.org ] Olivier nemolivier@gmail.com http://nemolivier.blogspot.com
