Being a deeply entrenched user of lilypond, I would love if MS could read/write lilypond scores natively.
- jcelerier 6y agois that problem even solvable ? lilypond's language is turing-complete, no ?
- enriquto 6y agoHey, dreaming is free! At the very least it could output lilypond files that you could tweak by hand.
- zozbot234 6y agolilypond does have MusicXML import/export converters, and MusicXML is also supported by MuseScore.
- prvc 6y agoLast time I checked, I could find no MusicXML exporter that supported the latest syntax.
- Ericson2314 6y agoI thought lilypond was a somewhat lower level abstraction, like the score tool they talk about? It would definitely be cool to export, but import sounds inherently lossy if what I said above is true.
- JasonFruit 6y agoI don't understand why, as an entrenched user of LilyPond, you'd want to use MuseScore either direction. LilyPond has been such a perfect tool for me that I can create better-looking scores with it faster than anything else; a GUI would just get in the way.
- filmor 6y agoCollaboration would be one reason. I have quite some friends that use MuseScore and are orders of magnitude better musicians than I am, but I could help them create better looking scores and nicer rehearsal tracks if they could just export to Lilypond to give me something to start from.
- aldonius 6y agoDoes MusicXML not function well as an interchange format for you?
