Re: music notation

[Graham Percival]

The lilypond-user mailist can answer this in more detail than the bug 
list, so I have CC'd them.  The short answer is that non-programmers can 
use lilypond without problems, but I do not believe that finale files 
can be imported to lilypond.

The best route is probably musicXML, but I'm not certain if finale can 
create musicxml files.

Cheers,
