That's a real blow.  You've made an immense contribution to
LilyPond over the years.  It won't be the same without you!

I can empathise with this feeling.  I've recently come to the
same conclusion with regard to stage shows.  The enjoyment
I used to derive seemed to have gone, and participation was
becoming increasingly a chore.  It seems you have the same
feeling about LP.

Funny, isn't it, how many of the developers don't actually use
LilyPond much.  Apart from one project I haven't either.

I'm sure you'll lurk on the lists and speak up when you feel
motivated, but even so we'll miss your frequent and always
insightful contributions!

Good luck with whatever takes LilyPond's place.
