Re: Lily syntax in Python

[Jonathan Kulp]

Prompted by this message I decided to try musicxml2ly again, and I have 
to say WOW!!  I tried this a while back, probably with 2.10.33 or 
something, and it failed miserably.  The output was totally unusable. 
This time was completely different.  I took two Finale files, one simple 
and one fairly complicated and long, and exported them as musicXML 
files, then ran the musicxml2ly command on them and finally ran them in 
lilypond, and I can't believe how well it worked.  Major props to the 
developers for this!!  The final .pdf output was very good, almost 
usable "as is."  With a few adjustments to the lilypond file it would be 
perfect.  This is an amazing improvement over what I tried before. 
THANKS!!!  This is going to save me countless hours of work if I want to 
convert my many, many Finale files to lilypond.  Awesome!
