7:20 Building a Sheet Music Publishing Platform
presented by Dan Grover
This talk will show how open source software (specifically
GNU Lilypond and a python backend) was used in the creation
of Etude, a sheet music reader for iOS tablet devices. It
will also touch on the ways closed and open source developers
can work together, and finally, how proprietary formats
threaten the growth of electronic sheet music.
Dan Grover grew up in the Upper Valley, studied Computer
Science at Northeastern University, and moved to San
Francisco to build the software startup that made Etude.

By popular request: bring your ideas, questions, advertisements,
