As I've voiced to the other developers in IRC, I also see Lilypond +
Frescobaldi as the best notation software for those who want to write
anything complex (though guitar tabs isn't really even that complex).  I
have added a workflow, which includes Lilypond and Frescobaldi, to the wiki
page where all of this is being hashed out - *AND I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO
ADD TO THE WIKI PAGE* to get more processes and veiwpoints involved in this
development process.  Bernard, for instance should probably add a workflow
that includes Common Music if that task isn't already taken by a superior
program or other workflows (maybe even if it is).

Without community involvement adjusting the wiki page a lot of the
suggestions in this e-mail thread will fall to the dregs of past history
without full consideration by all developers.  Please add your ideas to
