Re: How many lilypond users are there?

[Andrew Bernard]

Yes, perhaps the question was poorly thought out, in terms of what defines a user, but it is interesting.

For example, I am having difficulty with the standard binary distribution on Fedora 21, which will not compile files using fonts with large character sets such as Linux Libertine (defect report just submitted). I was led to muse that if there are only four or five people in the world using lilypond on Fedora 21, this sort of issue may never get fixed, for lack of audience numbers and developer resources.

How many people read this mailing list? That would be a better estimation

free software, especially if it automatically comes with your

and then really use it?

It's an interesting question.
