I prefer keeping this on its on Linux machine. granted i have had a
dedicated though useless Linux box here for over three years now, when a
member installed Linux on a drive for me, leaving out totally the server,
and lord knows what else.
I want to have the ability to learn Linux at some point if something ever
exists as a better screen reader than speekup.
Plus as peter illustrates, this is more than just for lillypond. I want
to run some of the several packages suggested.
If need be I want to connect the piano keyboard to the machine as well,
which cannot be done with my main machine. I want the playback solely on
that machine too, its speakers, its quality sound card.
Basically setting up a Linux machine only for music work but the ability
to Handel the speech interaction via ssh TELNET from my dos machine with what I know is quality speech.
At its best, as you hinted the scripting might not require much user
interaction at all. So I can just write arrange listen and print .
Is that more clear?

Unless I'm mistaken, the distro for music is more for interactive music
production. I think maybe the poster meant Ubuntu Studio. In that case,
it's a graphical environment designed for audio production as I mentioned.
That is overkill for what you need. Debian, Slackware, RHEL, etc most likely
have the packages you need for Lillypond. You obviously don't need or want a
graphical environment. Regarding sound, that's a totally separate
discussion. I guess what I'm wondering is why you need a dedicated Linux box
at all when almost any decent shell account should be able to do the same
thing if it has Lillypond installed. You could maybe even generate audio
files from the music without a sound card, but I am not that familiar with
Lillypond. I know you can generate MIDI files this way.

thanks for the detailed answer.
A Linux distribution just for music would be terrific.
I have no interest in using speakup, and since ssh telnet is more secure,
plus effortless in dos, that will be fine .
Yes about Lillypond, abc notation as well.
I will ask on the Linux audio list about the music distribution, unless
someone else knows. the sound cards as well.
thanks again,
Kare
