- adamnemecek 9y agoI have. "LilyPond is a music engraving program, devoted to producing the highest-quality sheet music possible. " I don't need or want any of that. In fact when I write music, music engraving is the least of my concerns. Actually music engraving is generally the least of my concerns period. Also I find the current music notation to be kinda idk outdated. I can read it, but I feel like it's a system designed by someone who had the mathematical knowledge of a 15th century farmer (which is probably how it came to be).

I can read (and prefer) standard musical notation but when handwriting I use Hummingbird [0] because I find it aides itself to handwriting. But I can't really imagine a "better" musical notation than what is the standard today, except a better way to communicate natural/flat/sharp notes.

- adamnemecek 9y agoThis is a long discussion. But fundamentally music notation is very paper oriented and doesn't exploit the advantages screens offer. > (and prefer) standard musical notation Prefer it over what?
- Nadya 9y agoI wanted to bring up Hummingbird notation with a specific context in which I prefer it (handwriting) while still being clear that I prefer standard notation over Hummmingbird as a whole.
