Nice to meet you all. I've started some topics. I think I came across Mike's website once...maybe in connection with MMA...?
Brief intro: I play saxophone and am interested in arranging for small groups. Also interested in creating practice tracks and engraving music. I run Ubuntu Gutsy on an IBM Thinkpad T40. I've got a post on my blog about getting Band-in-a-Box running under Wine: http://bria.nwood.org/node/244

I've done a couple of charts for a jazz quintet using lilypond. The process is:
1. edit the file
2. run a shell command to render lily code to pdf and then load in pdf viewer
3. edit the file more to fix weird sh*t you noticed in the pdf viewer.
When I'm home at my linux box, I can post the exact commands if you're interested.
Also I have messed with biabconverter which converts a Band-in-a-Box file to lilypond. It saves time, but there is much cleanup to do before you are done.
