[FoRK] Rough on Rats (chords and lyrics) (Google Docs)

[Lucas Gonze]

Dude, I just blew $800 on Sibelius, after finally giving up on
Lilypond.  Lilypond is great in its own way, but it pulls me out of a
musical mindset and into a programmer mindset to use it.  Even though
I'm comfortable with programming languages, whenever I just want to
write down a tune Lilypond ends up forcing me to think about Emacs,
fink, ghostscript, etc.

I freely admit that this might stop happening if I made it up the
learning curve.  But when I'm in a computer mindset I'm not interested
in notation, and when I'm in a music mindset I'm not interested in
studying a new language.

Lilypond has a tab module, btw.
