Oddly, I cannot find a reference within the Chicago Manual of Style (my Music History Departments preferred citation style) for computer software. I would most likely discuss this with your teacher.

With regard to attribution, it is common to explicitly credit the two original authors, namely Han-Wen Nienhuys, Jan Niewenhuizen, et al. That makes more sense than a full list. -- David Kastrup ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
RE: Citing Lilypond in a paper?
Mr. McClure, My understanding is that Lilypond is the result of the collaboration of many programmers. I suggest that you contact Mr. David Kastrup for how to ascribe authorship.

Hi all! I'm writing a paper for my Music History class and I used Lilypond to generate a few examples. I cited the original music in my paper, and I would like to cite Lilypond as well.
