Re: OT: Beauty of programming languages

[Henning Hraban Ramm]

Hi,
I’m now 42, singer/songwriter and collector of German and international folk 
music. Former scout and LARP bard. Otherwise media designer and programmer.

I’m using LilyPond on OSX since summer 2005, previously with different editors 
(Smultron, TextWrangler, Eclipse), since maybe two years exclusively with 
Frescobaldi.

Mostly I prepare lead sheets and songbooklets for me and my friends and family 
from songs that I like and some of my own.
Since I also like to work with ConTeXt (a modern alternative to LaTeX that 
makes good use of LuaTeX), I’ve my own workflow to combine both (see 
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/LilyPond).
So I mostly engrave existing music, often with my own arrangements, but need 
LilyPond also as a composition tool (I need to hear the MIDI to be able to get 
the rhythm notation right or to test arrangements).

I just released my first CD, see http://www.fiee.net/auditive/ (everything in 
German); notes are available, LilyPond sources on request.

Greetlings, Hraban
