Method of including PDF document information in LilyPond files?
Dear LilyPonders,
Is there a way to include PDF metainfo (document information) in LilyPond
documents? For example, I would like to do something like the following:
\header {
title = Test title
subject = Description of title
maintainer = John Zaitseff
}
and then have LilyPond and/or my own Scheme code generate the following
pdfmark PostScript to be included in the output PS file:
[
/Title (Test title)
/Subject (Description of title)
/Author (John Zaitseff)
/DOCINFO
pdfmark
Of course, I'd like the actual contents of the pdfmark output to be
generated from the header:title, header:subject and header:maintainer
properties.
Yours truly,
John Zaitseff

Information on Lilypond
Hello, . I am checking out different types of music notation software. When I am trying to read about Lilypond, the language switches from English to German, and then 2 times it switched from English to French. There must be a way of setting the language so that it doesn't change frequently. I must have clicked on English more than 6 times, and it still doesn't understand that I want English. Ich mag keine Deutsch, weil spreche ich nicht gut Deutsch. There should be flags at the top of each page and then the reader could click on the appropriate flag. Once the flag is set, it shouldn't change languages until the reader clicks another flag. Thanks, Skippy in Canada PS I've used Finale for 8 years. It's very complex and hard to use. What I like to do best, is play a song on the MIDI keyboard and then have the notes appear on the screen. Then I print them. I am looking for software that will do this conveniently. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

2007/7/24, Skippy G. Mardon [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hello, Welcome on the list :) I am checking out different types of music notation software. When I am trying to read about Lilypond, the language switches from English to German, and then 2 times it switched from English to French. This is weird; can you tell us which browser and operating system you use? I assume you've already read http://lilypond.org/web/about/browser-language.html I've used Finale for 8 years. It's very complex and hard to use. What I like to do best, is play a song on the MIDI keyboard and then have the notes appear on the screen. Then I print them. I am looking for software that will do this conveniently. It depends on how you define and then... LilyPond is a non-graphical music notation interface. i.e. you can use a MIDI keyboard to enter your music, but what you'll see instantly appear on your screen will *not* be a score like in Finale, but some code, which you'll have to compile to get a (wonderfully displayed) score at the end. LilyPond can be quite simple to use (it took my grandmother a couple hours to learn; now she uses it frequently), but it might not be appropriated for someone who's used to graphical interfaces.

Hi. What I like to do best, is play a song on the MIDI keyboard and then have the notes appear on the screen. To do this, you might want to have a look at the Rosegarden 4 software.
