Re: Generating Interest in LilyPond through Kickstarter

[Simon Albrecht]

You might check imslp.org, which often is a source for excellent engravings. I have no idea whether there is a scientifically approvable edition there. My thoughts referred in particular to the 19th century complete editions for example of Bach which combine unsurpassed typographical excellence and beauty with scholarly text. There are some who say that the NBA (New Bach Edition) does not give a significant advantage over that.

Best, Simon

When the idea or selling point of a campaign is to provide a "free" edition it can be argued what that is needed for when there already _are_ good editions freely available.
Then one should really find a good surplus over existing editions. This could for example be the possibility to make modifications like new arrangement of voices or transpositions.
Don't know how this relates to your ideas, though.

I recently made a similar suggestion with the "Winterreise", and some commented it problematic to create new "free" editions of pieces that already exist in good free editions.

Urs,

Do you recall why others found this to be “problematic”? 

Thanks,

Paul T.
