Lilypond – Music notation for everyone
LilyPond is an automated engraving system. It formats music beautifully and automatically, and has a friendly syntax for its input files.
Refer to the Lilypond FAQ or Lilypond userguide for further information
Installation
Download the latest installer from http://lilypond.org/web/install/
wget http://download.linuxaudio.org/lilypond/binaries/linux-x86/lilypond-X.Y.Z.linux-x86.sh
And run the installer
sh lilypond-X.Y.Z.linux-x86.sh
Shell Access
As the preferred method to enter a score is a text editor, any editor can edit the files stored on the server.
If you have trustworthy users give them shell access. They can then run lilypond to produce a .pdf file for printing and optionally a .midi file
cd /home/e-smith/files/ibays/scores/mozart/ lilypond K321.ly
Shell access lets users use all the features of Lilypond, such as importing a .midi file
midi2ly K123.midi
MediaWiki Extension
Install
- Install MediaWiki
Thank you Dietmar for the prepared rpm http://wiki.contribs.org/Mediawiki
- Install the Lilypond Extension
For the extension announcement see http://bugzilla.wikipedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=189#c12
Obtain an updated extension from here, which fixes some bugs http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3338
cd /opt/mediawiki/ cp /path2file/LilyPond.php extensions/Lilypond.php
Add the extension to the Local settings config file
nano -w LocalSettings.php
require_once("extensions/LilyPond.php");
Usage
- <lilypond>
You place special tags in your wiki article, in a nutshell,
<lilypond> c, d e f g a b c b a g f e d c </lilypond>
produces:
- <lilymidi>
<lilymidi> c, d e f </lilymidi>
Produces: The above image plus makes it a clickable link to a .midi file
- <lilybook>
<lilymidi> lots of code... </lilybook>
Produces: same as <lilymidi>
For this method you enter the text of an entire .ly file
For all three methods, macro code is disabled for security reasons
Further Information
The Lilypond syntax cheat sheet may be less daunting for wiki users then the full manual.
See the Lilypond Snippet Registry for more advanced syntax examples
