Hi there,
It's may be some off topic. After a long struggle, I have nearly done the input of a sheet music. Then, I need to proofread it.
Generally, I split the screen into left and right frames, and put the score that Lilypond output and the original one into each frame, and read/compare notes one by one.
Is there any other ways you prefer to do proofread?
Best,
Jinsong
One tool available for proof-reading is Frescobaldi's Manuscript Viewer that lets you place the engraver's copy and the engraved LilyPond score next to each other withing one environment - and you have access to the text editor in that same environment through point-and-click.
What I often do is force the engraving to use the original line/page breaking during editing. This can be done by inserting a custom command like \originalLineBreak that is defined as
originalLineBreak = \break
etc. for page breaks and page turns.
For publication this can be changed to
originalLineBreak = {}
Alternatively you can use the more convenient openLilyLib package page-layout (https://github.com/openlilylib/page-layout) (needs the breaks package and oll-core too).
