[linux-audio-user] homemade music -- notation

Recently I posted a link to a rough-draft recording I made of a piece I
composed some days ago, "Abstraction 1 for Piano"--

OGG version:

MP3 version:

I decided to use the piece as an excuse to dig into the music notation
program LilyPond again and try to improve my rudimentary skills:

If anyone cares to see the score, or hear the rather mechanical sounding
MIDI file produced by LilyPond from the source code of the score, they
are here:

PDF score:

MIDI file:

I love LilyPond. It takes a bit of learning and getting used to, but it
is really a great program.

Best wishes,
