Re: New Progressive Rock songbook created with LilyPond

Over the last months I created the accompanying songbook for Progressive Rock band Transatlantic’s new album Kaleidoscope. Like my last book for Neal Morse it was all done in LilyPond. Here is the info page for the album (and book): http://www.radiantrecords.com/products/483-transatlantic-kaleidoscope.aspx We are printing the book on demand with CreateSpace, so they are also available on Amazon. It’s fascinating what is possible nowadays without a big publisher. Maybe this would also be something for the Pondings column on the LilyPond website if it qualifies? I think this would warrant a Ponding (forwarding to but-lilypond). But it would be nice if there were at least an example page somewhere.

I sent a sample page to Radiant Records, so they could include it on their page, but they seem to have chosen not to do so, or probably they just forgot. However, the Look Inside feature on Amazon is now available, so here you can see some pages: http://www.amazon.com/Kaleidoscope-Songbook-Transatlantic/dp/0615947077/ I like the idea of writing a blog post. I have to see, though, if I can get round to it, at the moment I have to carefully ponder what to spend time on. -- Peter Crighton | Musician & Music Engraver based in Mainz, Germany http://www.petercrighton.de ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

I don’t think the band would want those to be available – and they probably don’t even know what an .ly file is. ;-) I haven’t even created MIDI files so far. -- Peter Crighton | Musician & Music Engraver based in Mainz, Germany http://www.petercrighton.de ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

I think that for media that are licensed proprietarily, this section of the GNU coding standards would apply: https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/References.html#References> By contrast, it is ok to refer to journal articles and textbooks in the comments of a program for explanation of how it functions, even though they are non-free. This is because we don’t include such things in the GNU system even if they are free—they are outside the scope of what a software distribution needs to include. Referring to a web site that describes or recommends a non-free program is promoting that program, so please do not make links to (or mention by name) web sites that contain such material. This policy is relevant particularly for the web pages for a GNU package. Regarding the "This is because we don’t include such things in the GNU system even if they are free—they are outside the scope of what a software distribution needs to include." angle: there _is_ the Mutopia project loosely affiliated with LilyPond which strives to provide freely redistributable music, so I don't think we should really be advertising proprietary media on our website. This is different to advertising particular _performances_ as those are, as opposed to media, not really in competition with free offers: visiting a commercial performance does not remove the incentive to visit or help create a free performance. So I'd lean against announcing non-free media created with the help of LilyPond on our website. I mean, the GCC website does not list as endorsement various kinds of proprietary software compiled using GCC either. So I'd suggest to use other channels for advertising non-free sheet music. LilyPond explicitly can be used for creating it, but if it is placed outside of the free software and media universe, there is no reason to additionally endorse it. -- David Kastrup ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
