Lillypond

[Tony Baechler]

Just as an aside, as I understand it, Lillypond is a typesetting system for 
music, meaning that you would have to use a text editor to create the 
initial input for Lillypond.  In other words, a word processor wouldn't work 
anyway because Lillypond needs plain text with typesetting codes.  I must 
emphasize that I don't use it, but it was installed here at one time and I'm 
vaguely familiar with it.  This is the case with most console programs of 
this type, such as grep and other typesetting tools.  They generally don't 
read word processor formats and require plain text or text with markup.
