PS: Nobody can pay for Layout pencils and the needed paper nowadays, but
with Layout pencils you'll get a very similar result in a few minutes.
Of course, such pencil drawings don't last for very long.

So, I'm not against working with a computer ;). I'm just skeptic that
Inkscape is ok. When I asked about apps that can replace screen tone on
the US devel list, nobody knows a Linux app. If you ask for good NLVE
the coders explain why we don't have it for Linux. So it's not a shame,
since programing complex good apps is expensive and often can't be done
by FLOSS, resp. programing a good app like Ardour2 did take a long time,
some years ago Linux audio was unusable.
