This is fundamentally different from any versioning mechanism found in tools like MS Word or Sibelius. The key technology to this is version control, in the sense of this.

The fact that LilyPond compiles plain text files makes it possible to use all the established tools and workflows from software engineering, particularly the concept of collaboratively editing scores.
I intended to add this aspect to an extensive comment on other thoughts, but finding this last post I think I'll start out with this one and exclusively write about that for now. And collaborative editing is one of the most important ones, one that makes a REAL difference between LilyPond (or rather: text based tools/workflows) and GUI ones. I'm *very* late to that thread but wanted to add a number of thoughts, as comments to aspects discussed in this thread, and by adding some that haven't been considered enough in my opinion. That last comment by OCTO is actually the keyword which I wanted to pick up anyway. Therefore I wouldn't necessarily classify Frescobaldi as a fully-fledged GUI, but more as a "heavy-lifting" front-end text editor. It's more of a WYSIWYM, like LyX.Īctually a good comparison is the difference between TeXShop and LyX, if you know about those two. What you see on the other end is what LilyPond made. It gives you actual graphical representation and use of symbols like you would in Finale or Sibelius, but then "exports" your file to LilyPond/PDF. This is VASTLY different from Denemo, which is a "legit" GUI.

It has the capability of "auto-compile" which, as you continually update your score, will see it represented in the PDF preview. It contains lots of completion guides, helpful snippets, and tools to do work "in file" as you work, and thus have far less to remember and reference (as typing the beginning of the tweak will often pull it up in a sub menu). Can anyone compare Frescobaldi and Denemo and maybe others?įrescobaldi is a "macho" text editor. I'd like to look at LilyPond and one of the GUI front ends. Isn't that what Frescobaldi and Denemo offer? Enter code as you wish and then adjust in a GUI environment?
