I use capella music software, which works fine for me. I don't use Lilypond, Sibelius or Finale.
In about 10 years I have contributed to IMSLP over 1200 files and over 100 different works - the largest proportion of all these by Edward Elgar.
I have contributed about 6 new composers, including my great-grandfather Harry Drew, and Colin McAlpin.
I have made arrangements of works for orchestra, wind band, chamber groups, orchestrations for choirs and singers. If you try this yourself, remember this, because it happens every time: when you think you've finished, you've only just started, because 99.99% right is failure.
I have four clever grandchildren: including one who played the viola nicely at 11 months, before she could walk. She will have lessons when she is 3.
The IMSLP star is hereby awarded to you for your outstanding contributions to the catalog of music by
Edward Elgar!
Among my contributions are the introduction of the following works by Edward Elgar. To these and others I have added many arrangements of Elgar's music. I have contributed nearly 60 of my own editions and arrangements of works by Elgar in all genres: orchestra, wind band, brass band, choral, chamber groups, songs and piano. These are complemented by Wikipedia pages on Elgar's works.
