That is particularly noticeable in piano scores. Short response : This is VERY easily done with LilyPond ;-) Longer response : Progr...

Is everyone aware of what is already being done here?: https://github.com/engraving-challenges/winterwind I'm not sure this engraving challenge falls within the scope of what we're trying to accomplish. Although interesting, the winterwind score quickly became a contest of who could even engrave th...
