LilyPond

Has anyone tried using the notation program LilyPond? I installed it
yesterday, and wrote a program to generate notation from some
internal data structures of my Csound preprocessor program. Now, in
addition to creating Csound input, I can create engraver quality
scores from the same input file.

For more on LilyPond, see http://www.lilypond.org .

A short example is on my weblog at http://www.xanga.com/music1024 .

You basically create an ASCII file with note names, octaves, and
durations, and LilyPond does the hard work of figuring out where they
should go on the page.

At the moment, it only seems to support quarter tones. But there
might be a way to hack into the inner workings to use the Fokker 31
tone system that I prefer. What do other people use to generate
microtonal scores?

***Hello Prent,

I use Sibelius, but don't even *try* anymore to get it to create an
audible microtonal score. I use a sequencer for that with tuned
synths... Sibelius, then, becomes only a graphic notation tool, but
it is a fine one...
