This is an open contest in music engraving; it's aim is to test music notation software in controlled conditions. Read an informal introduction at the [Scores of Beauty blog] (http://lilypondblog.org/2014/01/an-engraving-contest/).
Since the goal of this particular challenge is not only to test engravers and their programs, but also the rules and workflows of the contest itself, we have deliberately picked a fairly straightforward piece. It is short enough to be engraved in whole and consists mostly of quite simple notation. However, do not underestimate it! Submissions that we had already received show that there are a few challenging elements which some programs have difficulty with. So, it should be an excellent warm-up piece.
Important: please make sure you read the instructions before starting work!

Please remember: this is a challenge and only partly a contest. There is no deadline. The point is to try creating the most beautiful engraving with notation package of your choice, and document your progress on your way there.
