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.
