* This is my final countdown, at least until some time this summer.  I have a patch up for review which describes what I've been doing to keep patches moving through the system.  It needs spelling fixes, and a small addition suggested by Phil.  I'll try and get them up tomorrow, hoping my as yet unnamed replacement finds them useful.

In the mean time, I'm teaching my wife about Lilypond so we can produce practice material for a blind friend:

\paper {

#(set-paper-size "letter" 'landscape ) system-system-spacing #'basic-distance = #6

ragged-last-bottom = ##t

ragged-bottom = ##t

myStaffSize = #80

#(define fonts

(make-pango-font-tree "Nimbus Sans"

                                     "Nimbus Sans"

                                      "Luxi Mono"

(/ myStaffSize 80)))

print-page-number = ##f

}

#(set-global-staff-size 80)

and

\layout {
    \override Staff.Stem #'thickness = #4.0

    \context { \Lyrics fontSize = #-2 }

}

Yes, he's *extremely* nearsighted (holds the music nearly in contact with his nose), and needs the extra thickness of stems, slurs and other marks.  We manage to get about 3-4 bars to a page, but up until now, his mother has been copying his music to the same scale, by hand.

I expect my wife and I will have some fun with spacing, and producing MIDI tracks, in the next wee while!

See you in the summer, or in June if there are Lilyponders in Bach and Luther country.
