Short Duets
A year after my introduction into music with the descant recorder, I now mastered the treble recorder well enough to play the accompaniment part of Henry Purcell's Short Duets. The booklet contains brilliant pieces for the late beginner flute player.
Here is the electronic version (PDF 600KB) I created with Lilypond.
Wikipedia Types of recorders
The Lilypond source file (20KB)
Generate the PDF from source in a Unix terminal:
cd <your_working_directory>
make
or, if make does not work for you:
cd <your_working_directory>
lilypond-book --output=out --pdf Purcell_Duets_Book.lytex
cd out
pdflatex Purcell_Duets_Book.tex

Lilypond
Make engraved music sheets with Lilypond. A typical workflow to create a sheet looks like this:
- create a textdocument, e.g. myFirstSheet.ly, with texteditor;
- run Lilypond
- check the Postscript and, if any, Midi files
- if not ok, edit the textdocument and go back to step 2.
This shellscript supports the process. It shows a dialog to select the Lilypond source-document and subsequently asks to redo or stop.
The script uses X11 XDialog which was installed using MacPorts.
Music engravings can be embedded in an Open Office document with OOOLilypond.
