Ignoring modern style sheets means not being able to type-set for
those companies. Which also means using Finale or Sibelius.
Or, perhaps this can be configurable. Maybe a stylesheet could be
loaded?
And I apologize for not introducing myself and my situation. I was
directed here from a MANTIS thread with Denemo. Basically, I'm a
composer that does quite a bit of open-source development (mostly
with SuperCollider). I've been using Finale forever, and am tired of
paying for upgrade after upgrade. Also, since I have acquired some
coding skills, and have just finished graduate school, I am looking for:
a) an alternative
b) a project I can expand personally to meet my needs (in my own
copy... if need be)
c) possibly a project that wants so assistance with development.
I spent a good 5 years learning how to make Finale do what I wanted.
I'm ready to invest time like that again if that kind of assistance
is wanted. So, that's where I am coming from. Most of my notational
needs are with extended 20th century technique... something no
typesetting program does well... the ability for lilipond to use TeX
obviously opens up many possibilities... I find this exciting.
Look forward to learning the program, and, if it is wanted, possibly
helping with development.
Best,
Josh

Looking over some older scores, I definitely see examples like the
one sent earlier... but over 10 years of typesetting, most current
style sheets (if memory serves me correctly) specify slanted
tremolos. I'll actually see if I can dig up the Durand style sheet
(the one I've seen most recently) and see if ti specifies.
I would be most interested in a xerox/scan of this document.
Schirmer's style guide shows slanted tremolo beams on horizontal
beams, but I admit that it looks rather disconcerting. Let's do
what the classics do, and ignore modern style sheets.
