-=head2 History of the GNU Music Project

-Please note that this all happened when I wasn't around yet. If you

-The GNU Music project is a project which aims to create free software
-for music printing and composing. It was started in november '92 by a
-core team of four members (Bryan Ford <baford@cs.utah.edu>, David Linn
-<drl@vuse.vanderbilt.edu>, Francois Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>,
-Neil Jerram <nj104@cus.cam.ac.uk> and in January '93 Robert Strandh
-<Robert.Strandh@labri.u-bordeaux.fr> joined.
-
-After serious disputes with Robert Strandh
-<Robert.Strandh@labri.u-bordeaux.fr> and the FSF staff in '94, the
-project core team got divided. The development efforts of GMP stopped.
-
-Independently, I (HWN) started LilyPond. When I showed it to
-RMS, he was very enthousiastic about having LilyPond in the GNU
-project. I subsequently learned about the GNU Music project, and
-contacted them.
-
-What was left of the GMP (Robert Strandh) and us, LilyPond people,
-agreed that cooperation would be desirable. Although merging of both
-efforts was and is technically infeasible, we did decide that LilyPond
-should also be part of the GNU Music project.
-
-Only later did I discover the previous quarrels about the GMP-"take

-gets me wrong or is angry at me because I stole a project or a
-project's name, I wrote this note.

-In summary, LilyPond is now the only substantial embodiment of the GNU Music
-Project, and it is part of the GNU project.
