Hello people,
I need to store sheet music in a format better than images or pdfs, a format that would result in editable small files, I also want it to be open, standard, etc (I don't want a format only openable with one editor that may be un-mantained next year). I also need a wysiwyg editor. Do you have any ideas of what's the best format ? MIDI ? Lilypond ? What programs ?

There are problems with storing sheet music as MIDI since most editors will load it exactly as played. You will have very small rests and notes.


Lilypond is good as a music typesetter, but I would first look at RoseGarden (now a KDE/Qt application) which IIUC supports various open standards.
