That's definitely what I was planning to do. I still have some softwares to
learn before taking the leap. For instance the audio player, as a big user
of Foobar2000 (I even wrote a skin back in my young days!), I'm so surprised
to see it isn't compatible with linux...

Good idea too. Is it the same than VIM? I discovered this some time back
thanks to Luke Smith YouTube channel. I have to confess I was impressed by
it. If I understand correctly, with some training, I could even write
everything in there, LP, LateX, etc...?

I also tried it at the beginning. But I wasn't conviced at all. I found it a
lot more unstable than Frescobaldi, and frankly, I don't think the Windows
95 look would help to convice my colleagues (typically user of Finale on a
Mac). But that's another debate :)
