Hi,
I am working a large piece with voice, dialogue, etc. (a 'musical'). I
have been using Cubase to mock up the various music bits. Surprisingly, I
have found the latest scoring functions to be not half bad at all.
Unfortunately, it still has some serious shortcomings in terms of adding
lyrics, dialogue, stage directions and so on... the stuff that has to be
in the final score and book.
Ideally, I would love it if Cubase had features for all that stuff, but
until such a day, I'm wondering if anyone here has experience in using
Cubase for this sort of thing and how you handle this.
I have been looking at LilyPond, which produces marvelous looking output,
but it looks like it would be a terror to input this large project into
directly. Fortunately, it does import MusicXML. So I am thinking of trying
to export from Cubase as MusicXML into LilyPond and then add the other
lyrics, stage directions, etc. in Lilypond.
Any suggestions on doing such a workflow?
