Hi,

I don’t understand much about music theory, so I was looking for a music 
notation programme WYSIWYG.
I woudn’t be able to use lilypond e.g. some years ago.

Some shady practices hint to certain problems,
they need money and misuse people.
Of course, the developers are not included in that ... I guess.

I don’t want to investigate that, I have better things to do,
but if you have an ethical understanding of "loving/helping people",
such things shouldn’t happen.

But now, after learning musescore I can imagine to switch slowly to 
lilypond,
but of course it takes time to learn.
Lilypond is GNU-Projekt AFAIU
so it has a better background and I guess people are not mistreated.
It is always better, if possible, to use GNU packages
because we all now why.

But for now I have to solve my midi problem
in order to be able to use lilypond at all.

Kind regards

Gottfried
