I don't do any input by typing, it is all done with a stylus. All of the pieces I've entered have been pretty simple, I think. Two line arranger lilypond pdf#How about type up a few bars of something suitably challenging notation-wise and post the PDF probably start a new thread for it.Ĭould you come up with a few bars that would be challenging notation-wise? I can write them up and post a PDF. I'm curious on how StaffPad stacks up against the alternatives, as far as producing output you can submit to a publisher.

In the end this will have to your decision based on your preferences and feelings. Those people are not unaware of Lillypond and Musescore some use them as well. ![]() There must be a reason though why hundreds of thousands use Finale and/Sibelius, and thousands have purchased Dorico since December while in most cases still using the previous names. Two of my students have produced work in Lillypond and it looked very nice, far better say than the average Finale output 15 years ago.

At the margins, a publisher may be happy with the output of a free programme in simple single line ensembles but reject it in complex music with many difficulties of layout, spacing etc. They can vary greatly one may say that if they accept something they will always re-engrave it themselves to maintain their housestyle (so you could send them handwritten), another may say to send a file in a particular format, another may have no clear preferences but still reject things on engraving grounds.Īctually it would still help to know how complex the work is, or may become. Yes! Well first thing one might do would be to talk to the publisher(s) you have in mind and ask them what requirements they have for submissions.

If that doesn't succeed then I will try to self-publish. Yes I'm a composer/arranger and my objective is to submit my work to a publisher. ![]() I have seen my own pieces engraved by others and been part of collaborative projects (in educational work mainly) where various things have been produced for various markets by various sizes and degrees of importance of publisher, which reads horribly like a c.v., but is a simple statement of fact. But what you really need, and may conceivably spend hundreds on, or not, seems to me to depend on those questions above.įor clarity, I have produced scores for several publishers, and published for myself my own work and that of others, so have plenty of history in the business. Probably all the programmes can produce PDF output, which any printer, from the one in the highstreet to an international print-on-denand business, would expect you to submit. Firstly, do you aim to set yourself up as a freelance music engraver? Are you a composer wishing to submit your work to publishers, or to self-publish? Exactly how complex is the music you wish to produce? Really really how much does it matter how professional it looks and do you have the experience to determine with exactitude what you need? Perhaps it would help if you could expand a little as to your requirements and objectives. I need to make sure that the finished product can be sent to a printer to be professionally printed, does Lilypond allow for this? Schneider wrote: ↑ Tuesday 24 October 2017, 16:44 pm ![]()
