Why I did it?
One day I realized that all the material I gave to my students was far more organized than the one I wrote or kept for myself.
It occured to me then, that if I start organizing music theory the best I can, I will benefit the most. And that has become true.
Furthermore, I wanted to test and learn Lilypond in order to make it the primary tool for my music compositions. Can you imagine a better method for learning a typesetting program other than writing music theory?
| For
my entire system, I
use Slackware Linux
(currently 10.1) but thanks to my other pages, you
already know this :)))) |
 |
|
|
|
| For the web page design I always use my favorite application: Netscape Composer. |  |
|
|
|
| For
score production, I
use the Lilypond Music Typesetter,
a
textual
sumbolic
Postscript - TEX - Portable Document Format - Picture
generating engine. I put intensive care to standarise layout formats and was very satisfied by the A5 portrait and A6 landscape. I do text editting with Kwrite and image browsing with Kuickshow. |

|
|
|
| For
vector graphics, I use
the Scribus Desktop
Publishing application. This is what I used to design the ADSR and the Operator combinations for FM Synthesizers. |
 |
|
|
|
| For
the Piano image
creation in The Notes page, I used KSpread. A spreadsheet program to design a piano keyboard? Well, yes :)) |
 |
|
|
|
| For
the screenshots
optimization and thumbnail creation, I use Gimp. Gnu Image Manipulation Program was created by Miguel De Icaza's team, the same team that later decided to create the GTK toolkit and base upon it the Gnome Desktop. The same team has given us Midnight Commander, a fine Norton Commander clone. |
 |
|
|
|
| For
my workspace, finally,
I use Konqueror
Web-File-Media browser. Combining web, command line and file managing capabilities as well as custom scripting helped accelerating my work a lot. |
