Unfortunately lilypond doesn't support musicxml at all, which is a bummer. I do the opposite route. MuseScore -> musicxml -> my script -> lilypond/musicxml -> PDF/MuseScore. I need this because, sometimes I want a

My previous workflow looked like this: - In MuseScore create way more parts than you need. This serves as a temporary work space. - Save tons of files. E.g. if I'm working on "Composition_00341" I save bunch of files like &qu

> don't allow for partial application Unfortunately, partial application doesn't work in Python, the same way it works in Haskell. If a function has 3 args, calling `f(x)` is a guaranteed runtime `TypeError`. There is functools

Oof, as a composer and a software engineer this is painful -- but joyful at the same time -- to see. Nowadays, I'm so used to my new workflow of writing a script that checks my music, creates a LilyPond file (as well as a .musicxml to

I think by far the best working software I use today is Emacs, and yes it's full of bugs that frustrate me every day.

My claim is not that "no software has any part that works", my claim is that "all software has some part that is buggy" which seems trivially demonstrably true in my life. I have unfortunately nothing to offer but anec

That's your opinion, and it seems to be the opinion of some people, I respect that. However, I strongly disagree. I use software all day every day (like most of us here, if not all) and I can confidently say none of the complex systems

User being too idiot to user the interface almost by definition means it's bad UX. If your userbase is not attentive/smart enough to use the interface, it's an interface problem, not a user problem.

More like, this is the state of software in 2023. In software industry, there is an extremely vague sense of correctness while software is being developed, if there is any. Product managers have no idea what that is, and there is usually no

You got many answers, but I'll give another brutally honest answer: I do this because it's simply much much easier to implement. I would much rather have my AST generator's input be a token stream. It just simplifies everythi

Yes, all computation done at runtime can be done at compile time (within type system). This is a problem in some cases e.g. if you write an infinite loop, this would mean compilation will infinitely loop. Different languages deal with this

These kind of comments are the strangest imho. Do we really need an official declaration to deduce someone who says something as clear as "[I don't have] faith in government that you have currently."? Even if they then claim
