Re: Using lilipond for uncommon musical notation

[Robert Schmaus]

Hi Thomas,

I can't give you a template for that, although I'm sure it can all be
done nicely in LilyPond.
Just one word of advice: don't try to do this kind of advanced stuff if
you haven't used LilyPond before. Go for the common and "classical"
(even if it's rather popular music) first. I don't suppose it's possible
to create a template that will enable you to "simply add some notes" and
all that advanced stuff you ask for will appear out of thin air. To do
this stuff, you need to be really firm on some basics (and beyond) of
this program.

Sorry I can't be of more help,
Robert
