Hi Andrew,

Not literally simultaneously… but "at the same time" (q.v. Lilybin). That is,
we could be on Zoom (or whatever) talking about the music, and the student and
I could alternately edit and save the file (which the other could then see
immediately).

I want to essentially eliminate the need for the students (or, in my wider
vision, the general user) to install anything on their personal device.
In February 2013, I wrote out a piccolo part for the overture to one of my
musicals **at 7:30PM on opening night, in a browser (lilybin) on a computer in
the theatre box office, which I then generated as a PDF and printed on the box
office printer, and then handed it to the wind player at 7:55PM in time for the
8:00PM downbeat**.
That was one of the most inspiring, empowering, and impressive things I’ve ever
done — as in, it impressed me, and everyone in the orchestra, that it could
even be done! But I happen(ed) to know how to code Lilypond files by hand;
otherwise, I couldn’t have done that.
I want to give music educators and their students that kind of power and
flexibility, without requiring them to learn how to write Lilypond code from
scratch.
Cheers,
Kieren.
