- orchestral work, including theaters
- weddings (solo or with string ensembles)

LilyPad Preview 2 Released31 July 2005
I have released a second preview version of LilyPad. This version adds some important features to make it actually a little bit useful: you can now see the LilyPond output in the preview window, and use either the LilyPond application or the Fink distribution.
LilyPad Preview 1 Released
23 July 2005
LilyPad—an editor and previewer for the LilyPond music typesetting system—is now far enough along for other people to see, so I'm releasing it on this website and announcing it on the lilypond-user list. I will also ask the core developers if they're interested in having it become part of LilyPond itself, since our Mac OS X efforts seem to have been similar of late.
Invited to the Sierra Summer Festival
22 July 2005
I was invited by some of my old Icicle Creek friends—Maria Newman, Scott Hosfeld, and the wonderful Travers family—to fill an open cello spot at the Sierra Summer Festival in Mammoth Lakes. It sounds like a great time—and they're paying me!
