What I should be doing on the new site
I started the laymusic.org site before there was such a thing as a Content Management System for a website. I thought I was being pretty sophisticated by having it database backed. SerpentPublications.org would indeed not be up yet if I hadn't done that, but there's still a lot of stuff about the books and about [...]
Lilypond vs. Petrucci, round 3
After my last post on the subject of trying to get Petrucci-like spacing out of lilypond, someone came up with a conceptually simpler way to get equal spacing -- just tell lily to treat all the notes as if they were quarter notes. It isn't automated yet. For each note, you have to tell both [...]
Some pages are now being redirected
I have the new site up at serpentpublications.org. Since I will no longer be maintaining the music portion of this site, I am now redirecting the automatically generated pages to the equivalent pages on the new site. I'll deal with the written pages as I get to them. In general, the new central place for [...]
New Serpent Publications Website
It's been a busy week, but the new Serpent Publications website is starting to be ready for friendly eyes. There's still a lot of page content to be written or transferred from the old site, and I'll be tinkering with the look of the pages and fixing up broken links and such in the database, [...]

Lilypond vs Petrucci, Round II
I said in the round one of this comparison that I'd let you know if I got any useful answers to my query on the lilypond list. One of the list contributors got interested in the problem and wrote me a new layout block that does indeed look a lot more like what Petrucci does. [...]
Comparing Lilypond and Petrucci
While I'm working intensely on the site redesign, you might have to put up with the things I'm writing about it to help me think. Here's a query I made on the lilypond-users mailing list: In general, I love the way lilypond output looks when compared with other computer-generated sheetmusic. I'm aware that the ideal [...]
Site Redesign Progress
I finally got started on the site redesign, so this has to be a short one. It's the kind of project that every time you solve one problem, three others pop up, so I suspect it will be at least days if not weeks before I have it ready even for friendly perusal, let alone [...]
