compare lily was Re: unsolicited praise =)

[Aaron Mehl]

Well,

I looked at the comparison and my first reaction is
that this is not a fair deal.

They compare gui notation packages with lily?
What about a mup/abcm2ps/guido/musictex/philipswriter
etc comparison to lilypond.

Then we are comparing apples to apples. 

BTW some of the outputs in the pdf comparisons were
stinky.  LilyPond really does look better then most of
those compared.

that said no word on comparing to SCORE......
