musical notation, part 2

A while ago, I ranted in my blog about the fact that there are no good free musical notation programs available: eveything I looked at is either too buggy, too old to still be useful, or misses a feature I need.

So, I had a closer look at the one program that is too old, Rosegarden 2.1, to see whether I could add code to make a lilypond output option possible. That doesn't seem too hard, actually, even if it's still a considerable amount of work; but I'll add this to my TODO list. I'm still not sure why the rosegarden upstream stopped working on it, though; IMO, the rosegarden2.1 editor could have been a great replacement for Finale.
