@reillypascal@hachyderm.io I had a program in the mid-to-late 1980s called Music Construction Set, and haven't composed much since. This post kinda makes me want to drop everything and dive back in.

@ross@social.rossabaker.com I had to look it up, but sounds like a cool program. This is also reminding me that there was another popular score writer from the era called SCORE (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCORE_(software)). Kind of esoteric syntax, but I hear people really liked it and stuck with it long after it was discontinued. I would definitely go for it with Lilypond! It really is fun, and it's a GNU project, so integration with Emacs is quite good, and you can extend it with Scheme/Guile.
