I usually have a pretty good idea of the music before it goes to Lilypond.
Only final touches happen later.

Would it be useful for you to work in a MIDI sequencer, and then use
midi2ly to get it into Lilypond?

First of all, happy New Year to everybody!<br>
<br>
I wanted to ask you a more general question related to composition and LilyPond:<br>
<br>
Can anyone here who is a composer and uses LilyPond to compose give me<br>
some little insight about the process?<br>
<br>
I mean if you are composing for more than one stave (I.E. piano and<br>
cello or string quartet) how do you keep track of the music if each<br>
stave has to be coded separately?<br>
<br>
Do you composers use Lily only after you notate the pieces on regular<br>
paper, or is it possible to make some sort of easier structure in Lily<br>
to make sense of a multi-instrument piece of music so your composition<br>
process is not constantly being interrupted by technicalities?<br>
<br>
I am visually impaired and don&#39;t have a primary way of notating the<br>
music &quot;for myself&quot; first.   Any tips would be incredibly appreciated!!<br>
<br>
Thank you very much and all the best in music!<br>
