[Tex-music] lyluatex, call for pre-beta review
lyluatex (https://github.com/jperon/lyluatex) is a package for LuaLaTeX that allows the inclusion of LilyPond code in .tex documents and automatically manages their compilation with LilyPond. By now the package is a fully-compatible superset to the lilypond-book script that ships with LilyPond, and we are preparing a significant v1 release. Before uploading a Beta version to CTAN we invite the members of this mailing list to thoroughly test and review the package and its documentation. Please find the description and a rendered manual at https://github.com/jperon/lyluatex/issues/177 Best regards Urs (Liska) --- TeX-music@tug.org mailing list If you want to unsubscribe or look at the archives, go to http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/tex-music
[Tex-music] lyluatex / aligning scores to surrounding text
Hi all, I have finally managed to check out Jacques Peron's lyluatex package (https://github.com/jperon/lyluatex) which allows to write LilyPond code in (Lua)LaTeX documents and have them automatically engraved during the LaTeX run. It provides automatic caching (so scores are only compiled if the content or the dimensions have changed) and passes the dimensions from the LaTeX document to LilyPond. I also have got my first pull request merged, and now lyluatex can align scores to the paragraphs so that the staff lines completely fill the line while any brackets etc. protrude in the left margin. This looks great and is an appropriate default, but it raises further questions that should be discussed before continuing development. On https://github.com/jperon/lyluatex/issues/36 I have uploaded a detailed PDF demonstrating the feature and discussing the questions. I would be happy about any feedback. As I have asked several communities it would be good to keep discussion as much as possible on the Github issue tracker.

If going the xelatex way there would be an elegant way through my lilyglyphs
package. This makes LilyPond's notation symbols available to LateX.
So far it only uses the built-in Emmentaler font but I'm interested in opening
it up to alternative notation fonts.
It's quite new that LilyPond supports alternative fonts but on
fonts.openlilylib.org there already is a quite impressive range of fonts -
including LilyJAZZ with an accompanying text font.
If enough people are interested I'd ve happy to give the package some new
attention.
Anyway, the text font (.otf) can immediately be used on its own.

[Tex-music] Introducing ScholarLY
Dear TeX-musicians, in general I wouldn't advertise blog posts on mailing lists like this , but today it is important for me to reach potential users or collaborators that may not read the lilypond-user mailing list. So if you're not interested in LilyPond at all please pardon this shameless plug and simply discard it. Otherwise please have a look at http://lilypondblog.org/2015/01/introducing-scholarly/. I have just released a first version of ScholarLY, a toolkit for scholarly edition with LilyPond and LaTeX, starting with tools that allow to maintain all kinds of annotations (from general questions to final critical remarks) within the music definitions. Annotations can be directly exported as LaTeX code to be used with a LaTeX package to produce (critical) reports. The LaTeX package is very much a stub yet but I'll build upon experience in a few edition projects so I have a quite good idea about it. But the main reason for advertising here is that this is also meant as a call for collaboration. I'd be glad about anyone getting in touch with contributions, but also with ideas, issues and discussion.

[Tex-music] "Digital Edition" conference

[Tex-music] BEST EDITION 2014
Hi again, as promised/threatened I have an announcement to make. For the last two years I was busy preparing a music book: A revised edition of the songs of Oskar Fried (1871-1941). This book was the reason for me to - learn LaTeX - learn Git - write lilyglyphs Now I'm more than pleased to announced that the edition was elected "BEST EDITION 2014" by the German Music Publishers' Association! What an acknowledgment for Free Software, even if that's not the focus of the jury. The long story is at http://lilypondblog.org/category/fried-songs) The shorter story is at http://lilypondblog.org/2014/03/oskar-fried-the-big-bang/ Now we intend to open up the edition and make it available under a free license - as soon as the publisher's expenses have been covered. For this we have just started a crowdfunding campaign at Indiegogo. The campaign is at http://igg.me/at/free-fried Please have a look at the linked articles, please spread the word about this fantastic advertisment for our communities, and please visit the campaign and consider supporting it yourself.

[Tex-music] Introduction
Hi all,
I registered (way too late) to this list because I'll do an announcement
in a few days. But actually I realized that I should have registered
long time ago, and I'll take the opportunity to introduce myself.
I'm a professional pianist and musicologist, and an enthusiastic music
engraver using LilyPond for quite some time.
Nearly two years ago, during the preparation of a large music edition, I
decided to finally dive into LaTeX and version control (actually I can't
recall which was the consequence of the other), and I've never regretted
this step!
In the meantime I'm using LaTeX nearly exclusively (if not for enforced
'compatibility' with family or others) and promote its use wherever I
can. For example on our LilyPond blog: http://lilypondblog.org/tag/latex/.
Two projects may be of interest on this list:
1) lilyglyphs
If you haven't noticed it: I have uploaded this package to CTAN, and it
is (at least, to my knowledge) part of TeXLive 2013 in the meantime
(also available in texlive-music in Debian sid). This package makes it
possible to include _any_ notational construct that LilyPond can produce
like characters in continuous text of LaTeX documents. I'd be very happy
about any users and/or contributors for several aspects:
- increasing the coverage with predefined commands
- making it accessible from plain latex (currently it relies on xelatex
or lualatex)
- supporting the new SMuFL standard
- some internal improvements and enhancements
Project/Development homepage is https://github.com/openlilylib/lilyglyphs
a more detailed announcement with example document can be found on
http://lilypondblog.org/2013/09/using-musical-symbols-in-text-documents/
Minimal example to try out if you have it already installed:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{lilyglyphs}
\begin{document}
The \crescHairpin{} stops at the \lilyDynamics{pp} on the second \quaver.
\end{document}
2) musicexamples
This is a package I haven't uploaded because it's not useful enough yet.
But I hope it will become a very good way to use and manage music in
LaTeX documents.
Currently it supports including floating and non-floating music examples
from pre-built image files (with a stress on LilyPond-created ones). The
most interesting point so far is the support for full-page and
multi-page score examples with caption support and support for scores
explicitly starting on odd or even pages (i.e. "insert a multipage
score, starting at the next odd page").
I'd be happy about people sharing interest in that approach and help me
get it further to become a really useful package.
Steps to be done:
- some internal improvements and fixes
(e.g. handling of musicexamples that are entered before a previous
one is actually printed)
- improving/extending the tools that help to create/update suitable
files with LilyPond.
- managing LilyPond code directly in the LaTeX document
The last one is the most important thing, but also the biggest
challenge. What I would like to achieve is about the same functionality
as lilypond-book does, but from inside the LaTeX compilation, without a
script preprocessing the input file. I think this should be possible
using Lua (although this functionality would be restricted to lualatex
then). Some main advantages I see:
- no need to first process the compilable .tex file
-> I can immediately compile the document I'm writing
-> No hassles with either a cluttered working dir or path issues when
using a separate output directory
- absolutely reliable access to the actual line or text width of the
LaTeX document
Thanks for your patience and maybe even interest.
Best regards
Urs Liska
