I did a dtrace on 2.19.47, using the default introductionary song that Lilypond uses as a starting sample (when starting the Lilypond app) syscall::lseek:entry /execname == "lilypond"/ { printf("lsee
We have an extended-family member who is blind from an early age due to an inherited retina disorder. I've seen some of what she can do with braille embossers, braille terminals and such, and I can s
Hey, I know, and also version systems like git :) I appreciate your concern, but I think you might have misunderstood me a bit. I do most of my work in 2.18 at the moment, and I try to provide workar

Drat it! I must have been very tired when writing the second violin part. Bleh! Now on to the divisi. How do I do this? once I get the rhythms correct that is? I'm hoping to get the rest of it done t
Greetings Sarah, First, to base your music around middle c, you want to use c' However, you might also try leaving out the c indicator altogether, so that it would look like \relative { MUSIC } In pa
Certainly. Many of us wish that LilyPond had the native ability to actually produce Braille scores. Some work has been done towards this goal, but it never was achieved. Well, since this command woul
Hi, output very Yes, Braille output development is ongoing, but not really ready for users yet. I'm trying to sort out some formatting issues. There is not anything in CVS as yet, support is not comp
