I must admit, that I didn't read all he wrote about his projects. But 
what I saw, he is answering politely and competent. And he seems 
passionate in his work.
So I hope my diffuse speech yesterday was not misunderstood! I think 
Daniel Spreadbury is passionate at work with his projects and what he is 
doing with his colleagues at steinberg might be a really good thing.
The only thing I don't like for now is the closed file format.
He wrote something about coexistance. That would be nice - and if 
lilypond would open his gates that it can also export musicXML files, it 
would be a step on lilyponds side.
