The GUIDO Music Notation Format is a system designed to logically represent all aspects of music in a computer-readable format.
The primary difference between the two systems (which superficially are very similar) is that GUIDO is designed to represent music in a logical format (with the ability to render to sheet music), whereas Lilypond is more narrowly focused on typesetting sheet music.
KNOPP: German history, especially the history of the 20th century, is still a contemporary topic for Germans today because the image Germans make of themselves -- and that others make of them -- is still largely determined by recent German history.
KNOPP: My first motivation is to present history in the most suspenseful and moving way possible, because there is nothing as suspenseful and moving as history.
KNOPP: Right now we are working on a big project about the flight of Germans at the end of the World War II, in which 16 million Germans were displaced from former German territories and two million Germans actually died.
