I would to ask if there are any way to use parts of lilypond as a library of a different application (use lilypond embeded).
Right now I'm using Ubuntu, and there are only available lilypond, lilypond-data or lilypond-doc packages. There isn't anything similar to lilypond-dev As far as I see lilypond only includes executables. Why I ask that? I'm creating a little application and I would like to create simple midi files on the fly, but I would like to avoid to enter in midi internals (avoid to waste my time reinventing the wheel). And lilypond file format is really easy to use. So my idea is: * My program creates a tune. * Create a string with the lilypond description. * Calls a function, and it creates a external midi file * My program uses the midi file. Of course, other alternative could be: * My program creates a tune * Creates a external lilypond file * Calls lilypond to parse this string->creates midi file * Uses the file But, I think that the second one is more slow. Thanks for your attention. _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
