I have some simple questions - can't find it in the manuals so far,
because
there's so much there.
- is it easy to adapt fonts for chords? I like 'em bold, the way
you often
see in jazz sheets.
On a Mac anything with changing fonts seems to be very hard to get
operational. But the default is pretty legible. I'm sure someone
here can provide a tweak that will produce bold fonts for the chord
names.
- is it easy to control the amount of measures per line? I stick to
4 as
rule of thumb as much as possible.
I put a \break after every fourth bar in the melody.
- is the learning curve doable for a combination of vim and
Lilypond? I'm
new at both, and am 53, so don't have decades left to learn.
I belong to the other religion, the Church of Emacs. Vi(m) has its
adherents, even though I can't understand it. But any plain text
editor will do, so long as it will write ASCII text and let you save
the file with a .ly extension.
