horndude 77: I just installed the latest unstable release (running Ubuntu linux), and used musicxml2ly to convert the .xml file exported from Finale. The results aren't quite right: http://www.simonbielman.com/pdf/sonata_2_lilypond.pdf Everything's fine at first, but at measure 84 something really f...

Hey all, I'm a composer and I'm finally getting serious and thinking about submitting works for publishing. Does anybody have any thoughts on which publishers are good?
